I would love to see mobile phones be a thing of the past.

It really sucks to see people stare at a tiny screen all the time, lost in another world.

I hate having to do it as well, but I’m so addicted now and it feels counterproductive to fight it.

Not sure what the best alternative looks like. Wearable? Nothing? Go back to pre-phone days? What about all the conveniences?

What are your thoughts on this?

I personally have come to the conclusion that people fear to miss something if they don’t keep checking their feeds and that, in turn, comes from the fact that social networks are built around engagement.

We should be smart enough to see through all this.

Phones are powerful habit machines too. Every time we pick that thing up, the habit is to see what’s new. Variable dopamine reward.

Expectation of reward.

Pavlov’s dogs.

Often I “forget” to bring my phone with me on purpose.

Feels great.
