The press is up to its eyebrows
in articles about how much time we all spend looking at screens of one sort or
another. I’m not qualified or inclined to write the final and definitive piece
on this topic, but I think that we can all agree that as adults, we are capable
of making our own decisions about how we choose to spend our time. Whatever you
decide, just shut the fuck up about it.
We also must be aware that
looking at a screen isn’t always a bad thing, as more and more people choose
this option for reading books and journalism. There’s a huge difference between
someone reading on their device while the next guy plays some moronic video
game or checks his email for the 4,000th time today.
If you decide to wean yourself
off of your phone, try not to be so damn proud or yourself like this
idiot who should have never let himself fall so far in the first
place. And does anyone really
need to take the side of their phone in this discussion? Hooray for cell
phones! Once again, it’s your life, but please shut the fuck up about it.
