I like to walk home from work (about 1.5 hours) once or twice a week, no headphones. I like to be able to live comfortably with my own thoughts for an hour and a half without the need for constant stimulation and I have friends who truly seem to have lost that ability.

- huimang 4y agoI don't think it's about being better than anyone. I also have friends who seemingly cannot go 30 seconds without scrolling through some app, and it's concerning.
- CharlesW 4y agoWhen I was a little kid I often walked miles (to my dad's business or home) from school and found it excruciatingly boring. My pre-device solution was to read paperbacks, so reading a phone doesn't seem much different to me. If you don't mind elaborating, I'm curious about why you're concerned about it.
