this behavior isn't exclusive to writers and artists. people still put screen protectors on their phones. If you have something you can't afford to replace, you're going to be careful with it, if you can't believe you can use it without some risk of breaking it, you're not going to use it unless you have to.
This is rational behavior, at least so long as the premise that there is some risk associated to using the tool is correct.
- lostgame 9y agoThe difference between a screen protector and scratches buttons on a guitar’s body is the scratches on the body do not affect the guitar’s performance whereas a scratch on the glass of your screen could have permanently affect the use of your phone.
- robotsonic 9y agoWhat I find interesting is when people will point to their plastic screen cover covered in small scratches as proof of why they need it. Generally, those same scratches would not have been present on the actual glass screen and are only proof that their screen protector is of inferior quality. I'm also unsure if the order of operations is: 1) I treat my phones poorly, thus I should get a screen cover. OR 2) I have a screen cover, so now I can treat my phone poorly.
