Check out this inane AT&T commercial about a woman whose absorption in her smartphone is so great that Facebook updates become substantiated as pieces of art in the museum through which she strolls. It also suggests that for young people, masterpieces in museums are not nearly as interesting as a good friend''s new haircut.

These people can be local or national (virtually).

Every few months, a major news outlet does an "expose" about data collection on museum visitors.
