    How could it have come to this… I hate my generation. I’d rather spend my time studying, but that damn phone keeps finding its way back into my hand.

    I feel like we are mentally crippled. And it’s our parents and grandparents generations fault.

      There’s a lot those generations did wrong, but your phone habits are your problem. If you want something with more substance, download some novels onto your phone. Project Gutenberg has tens of thousands of Public Domain works on it.

        Don’t get me wrong. My phone is the fastest and most reliable research machine for my studying. But all the other information there. It was build to suck in my concentration. And at the same time it has been interwoven so deeply into our lives, that leaving it behind makes away a part of freedom.
