24 hour world

we're discussing the potential of i-technology, on-line profiles and similar that mean that we can access the world in our pocket. how much are we in the present moment or able to experience parallel existences concurrently? They are explaining the situationist notion of society of the spectacle and realising that we are now able to weave our own individual spectacles..... constantly and ultimately able to be in touch and update and be updated in real time.. do we need a mode of escape? A magnetic field shield? do we need to create terrains of  non-consumption?
