‘Luddite’ Teens Don’t Want Your Likes

When the only thing better than a flip phone is no phone at all.

it is appealing, but i won’t do it.

the writing feels a bit odd though, not fully going into mocking these teens, but quoting them in a way that felt a bit mocking?

i was wondering if they still use computers, and how. does that not suck them in?

i do try to “turn down” the impact of always being on a device, but it doesn’t always work.

current things:

• lower lights in my apartment in the evenings
• podcast via bluetooth speaker in the evenings
  • trying to avoid videos and reading until late that way
• phone sleeps in the kitchen, not by my bed

previous things:

• blocking distracting sites
• strict downtimes on the phone using tasker

i do enjoy working “with my hands” a lot, but it is a huge jump to get started with any of that.

in summary: kids are cool, leave them alone people! or listen to them, but seriously.
