On the bright side, the NSA servers are exponentially filling with meaningless drivel.

I was struck by a recent school shooter episode in which the students were evacuated to a parking lot. After the shooter was killed, a police spokesman came out to report on what had happened. As he spoke, a pan view of the crowd showed about 70% of the students were focused on their phones and were oblivious to the experience playing out in front of them.

I think "oblivious" is a bit presumptuous on your part. Most likely they were "discussing" the proceedings with their friends.
