I survived the first 40 years of my life without a cell phone. Then I carried one phone and smartphone after another, first to keep track of my kids (who have always had phones), then for business and convenience. I have learned how to mute notifications and turn the phone off when I don’t need it. I don’t have it in my bedroom. It’s a tool that I can control, it doesn’t control me. Anyone can take control of their phone without throwing the useful features out.
