Re: Smartphones are not the enemy
Smartphones are not the enemy, doom scrolling is.
Smartphones are not the enemy, the attention economy is.
Smartphones are not the enemy, unfettered rampant capitalism is.
I often ask myself, am I addicted to my iPhone? I use it a lot—every single day.
But let’s be honest, it probably shouldn’t even be called a phone. It’s a small computer that happens to make calls, one I carry in my pocket every single day. And truth be told, I’d rather send a message than talk on the phone anyway.
I don’t think smartphones are addictive. The apps are. What I’m not addicted to is social media, I don’t fucking participate in any of it. Maybe that’s an age thing. For me, the smartphone is just a tool, one that makes a lot of things in life easier.
Smartphones aren’t the enemy. How we use them is.
