weird/guilty using mine in public

I felt weird using mine in public, like staring down at a little rectangle was unsocial or bad for you or something…
Turns out, it’s more like digital detox! It would be cool these days.

They^tm^ had the same attitudes against newspapers and books for a while. It takes a bit to normalise things(and for the old guard to die off)

They™ were right, we need to connect with each other not isolate in media. Doesn’t matter if it’s cheap newsprint or an oled, problem is all staring up at what’s presented vs over at each other
