I wonder if the writer made it all up. It's not like they have editors to really fact check anything anymore. lol But I do think the whole digital all day every where thing is leading us down a back path. I'm thinking of going New Age Amish or something myself. For personally, nothing got better after 2010's. Just more complicated.

To me, the smartphone is mostly a tool to find out what trains are running and how I can get home. It also does some XMPP communication. I rarely call, but I do listen to some podcasts and music.

That's why I'm... befuddled people look at their devices so much.

What use can a tool have if you use it that much?
