Such a good point about meeting people you might not have without the apps. I read one interesting article about this -- how before phones our communities were almost predetermined. With technology, this is no longer the case. I see the benefits, but it's also likely lead to the degradation of a traditional and supportive community.
I hear you on the dumbphone. I romanticized it for years, but ultimately, I determined the real solution was learning to use my smartphone like a tool instead of letting it take control of me. It's ok to rely on your smartphone, but there's a healthy way to do it!
I like how practical and encouraging you're being. Thanks so much!
