People constantly complain that my gen spend too much time on our devices.
I could pretty much do exactly the same thing I do but using a bunch of other alternatives.
I was asked about going a month without my phone. But what would that actually entail?
Could I still watch my tv ? Would Netflix and prime still be allowed? If I don’t read reddit anymore since I’m moved away from that cesspool. Can I just read news articles from other sites instead?
Does it mean no access to the Internet? Can I use my phone for maps and music and ebooks but nothing else?
I think the argument is good. Why are people obsessed with commenting on people being on their phones but not those that spend a similar amount of time watching shit on tv ?
Here’s a question for you.
I went on a 3 week holiday and had a similar thought process. Now I’m generally on my phone all the time if there’s nothing else going on. But I will make a conscious effort to put it away if we are doing things socializing and during group activities. My question to my partner was
What’s the difference between me being on my phone and not paying attention to anyone and everyone reading their books ?
Would the same retort as. Why’s he on his phone vs in a book. It’s the same level of antisocial yet one is seen as derogatory and the other is a holiday past time.
It’s more social constructs than anything else. Phones bad but books good. Simplicity
