This seems right to me. Correspondingly, we need social solutions, like the yondr space the article talks about. It’s not enough for one person to lose their smartphone use - the whole community will benefit if we all do it together. Kids will be outside instead of indoors, which in turn makes it safer for the marginal kid to come out. Other people are available to talk to on the bus or train, which in turn lowers the temptation for me to whip out my phone. And so on. We’ve had fair trade towns and liveable towns. Maybe we should have some “low phone” towns or neighbourhoods. (Written on a smart phone on the train.)
