Smartphones are different. It’s not just about the technology, but the portability. They can be used in so many places and situations where a computer or even an iPad simply wouldn’t work. Standing in a crowded train, walking down the street, at the dinner table, waiting in line at the store, at the beach, sitting on top of a mountain - these are all moments where only a phone fits. But that convenience comes at a cost. People end up abusing that portability, trading the beauty of being present in exchange for the habit of pulling out their phone and scrolling through nothingness, just because they can.
