Sentence: Joan has given up any thoughts of thinking. She has resigned the real world, where you have to remember stuff, to join the e-world, where your IQ can be measured in gigabytes. Her **smart phone** is brighter than she is. If she has a thought, she better get it down in her notes app or it will succumb to evapidoration. A friend asks if she wants to meet at a particular restaurant. Before you can blink, she is reading the menu and texting a reservation. Just don*t ask her to share her thoughts. She doesn*t have time for those anymore.
Etymology: evaporation (cease to exist) + vapid (offering nothing that is stimulating or challenging - made of vapors)
