I didn't have a smartphone until I was 35, and didn't have a computer capable of using the internet until I was 25. I can say without reservation that all the internet & phone stuff has been ruinous to my concentration and happiness. Never mind being a horrible substitute for human contact: it destroys silence, and all manner of reflection and introspection. I used to wake up at dawn and go outside to see what the bugs were up to. Now I check my work email and have to stop myself thinking about killing time on youtube, or killing my soul on websites where the women are even more exposed.</p></blockquote><p></p>
