Very interesting, I think.
Do you have a smartphone and if not, why not?
Does the absence isolate you?
Also, what is your relationship with your phone?
I keep mine at as good a distance emotionally and intellectually as I can manage, but having a rather obsessive personality, I find myself checking it more often than I would like.
However, I do turn off all notifications for peace of mind.
Do you have a smartphone
Yes
I don't think so. I usually leave it at home during the week.
what is your relationship with your phone?
A convenient way to access the internet. A camera. A means to stay in touch if I need to.
I turn off notifications too, can't be doing with constant interruptions!
