This research explores omnipresence--the ability to be simultaneously present in multiple spaces--through the works of Francesco Casetti, Erving Goffman, Kurt Lewin, and Rana Abudayyeh. Drawing on these scholars and a qualitative, IRB approved study, the research examines how digital tools are reshaping social behavior and enabling individuals to navigate multiple environments simultaneously. Ultimately, it calls for a reconsideration of how we design everyday 21st-century spaces to support both digital engagement and authentic, embodied human connection.
