FFN 020: Situational Awareness
Situational Awareness is about knowing what’s going on around you. It’s about recognizing any potential threats. It’s about recognizing the mood, attitudes, and behaviors of those closest to you and complete strangers. It seems like everywhere I look I see men and women in these zombie-like trances starring at these little electronic devices we call our phones. I see people driving who are completely oblivious to anything going on around them, and I see an inability for people to connect with other people who are literally sitting right next to them. So, let’s talk about this today. Let’s talk about situation awareness.
