In the past decade phones have practically enslaved us. It is now impossible not to check your phone several times per day. People mindlessly scroll through stories, reels and other forms of short form media shit.This. I used to laugh it up a long time ago, but at some point I realized I easily end up spending 5-6 hours on average just staring at the phone reading any unread public chat messages, or checking out the memes. Even when everything's been read, I end up re-reading old stuff instead of doing something more interesting.
