Bluejacking
Bluejacking could be a meme in the making, though the website the article links to appears nonexistent. It’s the “sport” of finding nearby mobile devices with an open, unsecured Bluetooth connection and sending the unsuspecting owner messages (”what’s that you’re drinking?”). Something about having control of your device wrested from you seems like such a significant moment; imagine if your cursor moved right now across the screen like it was an ouja board.
I’ve been thinking about other significant moments recently. I think another one is the first time a person does a Google search of their own name. Seeing the search results and realizing the persistent and uncontrollable data traces that show like smudges across the internet must provoke some interesting impressions from a person at that moment. I don’t remember what I felt when I realized I could search the internet about myself.
