We think people are addicted to their mobile screens and see it as a singular issue.
But, let's think about this - WHY are people addicted to their mobile screens?
What are they running away from? What are they holding on to?
My hypothesis is that we are in a loneliness epidemic.
People hold on to that mobile phone because as soon as they let it go, they will fall into that bottomless pit of loneliness. They don't know what to do with themselves. They don't have anyone to talk to. They have nothing binding them to the world. Very few hobbies, fewer friends, and those friends typically are halfway across the world.
That mobile phone is their link to the world. Their ONLY link to the world. Think. About. That.
