Don't sweat! I am not giving up my newly purchased iPhone! But I did read this article and I have to admit that there was more than one point that I found myself nodding along with in agreement.
I love technology, the internet, the digital age. I think it is revolutionary and it has changed our lives in ways we never thought possible. I also think there is a time and a place and that things should be carried out in moderation.
As much as I love my collection of apps, I also have a laundry list of things that no matter which version of the iPhone we get to in our lifetimes, nothing will beat doing "the real thing" instead of it's digital twin: turning actual paper pages in a book, painting with paint and water, going to help out with harvesting crops on an actual farm. All with our phones firmly planted in our pockets, merely relegated to the purpose of making and receiving calls.
The plants in my house would agree. Mom, can you stop playing with your TOY and get us some WATER???
