This was a good audio piece to listen to on my way back from a project.

We may be headed to a time where we actually are addicted to our phones.

From the audio article:

“ NPR's The Indicator from Planet Money wanted to know, so they asked Lena Song, a behavioral economist. She set out to find the answer in a study with 2,000 volunteers. Here are her takeaways:

Addiction has two parts: habit formation and self-control.
Phone use is hard to control because it's routine for many — like grabbing a morning cup of coffee.
31% of participants' phone use was attributed to self-control problems. That's nearly a third of the time they spent on their phones.”

I've got a corporate phone (land & cell)
I've got a burner phone for here.

No need for a personal phone - and there is zero reason for me to do so.

I've never had a personal cell...... and likely never will.

Smoke signals, injun style

Oops, did my words do violence to some woke gen z?
Am i guilty of cultural appropriation?
What does Critical Race Theory have to say?

No time to answer these earth shattering questions
I'm too busy trying to titrate some small amount of Gloom from OP's opener
