Busily Unaware

"Look at these people. Wandering around with absolutely no idea what's about to happen."
--Peter Sullivan (Margin Call)

As people become busier and more involved in minutae of life, awareness of trending danger drops. Threat builds unsensed. It is not until harm is imminent that people wake up.

Being busy, therefore, can be distracting. It lowers one's guard.

Aggressors can use this to their advantage.

A 2012 report from the McKinsey Global Institute found that we spend 28 percent of our work week dealing with email.
