That article is weird. Sure, it has become harder, but it's not impossible, yes it is sensible to use technology in a mindful way, but it is a weird idea to give the phone to someone else to pretend to be you. Also, imagine someone less skilled in IT security uses your phone and gets you malware. Ugh. So much wrong there. Why..? wtf

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?
