Have you watched White Lotus? Most memorable thing for me - other than reinforcing Mike White isa genius - was the teenager son losing his phone/tablet and after a few grumpy days becoming the only happy person on the show.

Just finishing the book, "The Anxious Generation." Highly recommend it.

"The promise of connection, to many places and people. Incredible power. Amazing convenience and benefits. Now you can move anywhere - live anywhere." - This was great, I love the analogy between phones and cars making our lives "easier" when it's actually making us lonelier and more isolated.

Love the tag-teaming on this issue by you and Alex. You are both very persuasive with the sharing of your experience. Thank you for elevating another vision.

I recently switched to a Lightphone, and it has made a big difference. It’s pretty rudimentary, but it gets the job done. The next iteration will have a camera, the lack of which is the only real drawback, as I have young kids and wish to document special moments.

That's awesome, thanks for sharing. Does it have WhatsApp?

No, I don't believe so. It has calling, texting, clock, alarm, and calculator. Screen is kindle-style e-ink, it cannot display pictures or images. If you receive and image in a text, the text is forwarded to your email with the image as an attachment.

I just put my phone away from my sight when I want to focus on something at hand.
