Technology has become a new form of spirituality for them. We used to use candles for this, then lighters, now smartphones. Like a candle that can be replayed to bring back a memory after the event, an augmented candle. 
They feel united by the act of capturing the moment in a thousand different ways with something that emits light. It is indeed some kind of magic. 

We will need to connect faster and better among us, freedom lovers, if we want to offer to them an alternative to get out of the Matrix. A new way to a better spirituality.
