Lifeworld here highlights the ambivalence of  the common sense world of everyday life, on the one hand, and the collaboratively constructed relationship to the world, the other and the self  based on mindfulness.

The instrumental world of ‘getting things done’, that near automatic fast functioning, the soothing comfort with the known, surfing the tradition at ease, at home in one’s language, culture, land and identity are questioned. Exotic excursions into otherness are part of this package. The digital lifeworld  accelerates these pre-existing forms of relating to the self, to others or to the world usually.

Snapping out of it, could rock the boat too much. To make the assumptions of thoughts, actions and relationships explicit and answerable appears as a hindrance to the smooth cruising through the day, week and life. The conscious and collaborative construction as individual or a web of social interactivity takes reflection, time and persistence.

Even when time is available the interactivity is usually confined to a dialogue of the type that new information has to pass from one property owner to the other. It has to be useful to my functioning in the world. Where is the gain? Another approach could be, that neither the sending of data, nor the receiving is important, but the aim is communication itself. The one wants the get the information/truth quickly, the other sees the event of the dialog as the aim. The moment of being in which the interlocutors are constructing themselves and their world.
