iPhonisation 

The process by which the activities of everyday life are colonised by Apple's mobile phone, the iPhone.
Man, I iPhonised University Challenge the other day: I Shazamed that track on University Challenge, and got the answer before the guy from that University.

iPhonisation is rife in modern society. Let me take a video of it in iPhone HD.

Everything nowadays is iPhonised. For example,
A: "How will you remember my Birthday?"
B: "I'll add it to my iPhone."

A: "Where are we?"
B: "I don't know, but I'll check on Maps."

Dream-cutting 

The movement between illogically connected segments of our dreams.

A montage movement which does not rely on logic.

The free-form movement of our thoughts/ideas and our presentation of them in literary/artistic forms.
Documents of a sort of reality,
splashed in our faces; dream-cuttings;
modern fables.
