We are on the banks of the Rhine River in Basel, Switzerland, many of us in our swimsuits. Dry bags shaped like fish fall from our necks, protecting phones, wallets, and anything else we don’t want to get wet. We are preparing to step out into the flow of passing barges and bobbing river cruise ships, to be carried with the flow down Europe’s busiest river. My niece Maddy, however, has her phone firmly in hand, a short distance from her face. “It says this is how some people here commute to work,” Maddy says, looking up from her phone. Well, if she is going to be on TikTok, at least it’s to help us better engage with what we are seeing before us.
