For no reason today I find myself idly thinking about the number of things that are casually faked at me in a day. Static on a TV, is the sort of thing I mean; there's no unconstrained cathode ray tube spraying noise in a LCD, and what you're watching is a looping movie of pretend static that someone created.
Same thing with a phone "ringing", that's just a .wav file the phone system plays until the other person picks up.
I wonder how many of these are in my life.
