It’s a tool, not a vice. The things you do ON it may be vices, but there are so many things the devices can do that it’s absurd to condemn the device as a vice. --- End quote --- The phone itself is a tool, but many of the things one can do on it could legitimately be called vices. --- End quote --- Uhhhh… yeah, I said that. |

In my experience, younger people are actually better about putting down their phones, with older adults still reacting to cellphones the way you had to react to a landline (i.e. drop everything and answer). And yesterday on the tram, I saw an elderly woman playing a game (something where you battle two creatures against each other) — the same game, on two phones at the same time, moving her hand so as to tap each phone with one finger! |
