The Past, The Present, and The Future of Media?

SFist blogger Brock Keeling posted a picture of three cramped San Francisco Muni passengers pass the time with a newspaper, Kindle and iPad.

One SFist reader wondered about the symbolism of the empty seat.

Without missing a beat, Keeling cleverly replied: "The empty seat is reserved for web 4.0."

Not sure why this is "Neat"worthy... I see this on the train in Chicago every weekday of my life.

Note how the iPad guy is keeping a low profile when toting his $500+ device in public. Then the Kindle in the middle... Then the cheap newspaper flying highest.

Oh how vacuous a life, to invent symbolism in the mundane, for the purpose of appearing clever to strangers.
