Fully agreed! Landsakes, I didn't know 'bout the new/positive trend, that's great nooz! (My 2 have been outliers fer quite a stretch--they SHARE a flip phone, have no social ME (me me me)-dia, an' we all keep phones OFF by default!) Readin' books, more time fer music practice, art...all the way it should be! The only trend sorely missin' is gettin' these young'uns to use a landline and yak proper without any G's (3g, 4g, or--horrors--4g) 'cept the occasional oh gees! Plus there IS somethin' to bein' tethered to a real solid phone--sayin' put to concentrate on what yer friend is sayin'. Now'daze, there's some kinda stigma 'bout calling (vs texting) a friend--as if it's "intrusive" ta call so I'm told. (some hot slab o' junk propaganda that). Old fashioned talkin' on a landline was the NEXT best thing to seein' folks in person so may it return as kids realize low tech or no tech beats high tech hands down!
love this story
Thanks, Phil! It's an encouraging development, for sure.
