It's funny to see words like "isolation" when so many people use their phone for what they'd more likely describe as "solitude," but also "protection," and in many cases things like "connection," etc.
So instead of allowing ourselves to be railroaded by someone's unfortunately one-sided choice of descriptors, maybe we should ask:
- Pacifier _and also_ therapeutic assistant?
- Adult _and also_ continually developing human?
Otherwise, playing one side of the dichotomy is by its nature demonstrating something far worse than a smart phone, which itself is a practical ocean of different engagement levels, options, and tools. It's demonstrating a single engagement level, a single option, a single way of using a tool.
