We’ve all lost something. Then we looked for it. Usually, the missing item was covered up or in an unexpected place. Sometimes, however, the missing object was in our hands. We went from room to room searching for the thing we carried in our hand. Usually, this missing object is a cell phone. Sometimes, we have even looked for a cell phone to call the cell phone that we misplaced in our hand. Honestly, sometimes we haven’t really progressed from our distant ancestor, the primordial ooze.
But we don’t have a word to describe this process.
It’s high time to correct this oversight.
