Nice article Jen Sanfilippo I’d be interested to see how long I could go without using my phone, the fact I discovered your article in a moment of boredom shows the truth in what you discuss.

I also find that little phrases we use in our daily lives show that our phones are an extension of ourselves. We refer to our phones as “my phone” yet the house telephone is “the phone”, the computer is “the computer”. We very much own our phone, it’s almost a prized possession.
