I can see the pull toward this thinking, having separation between the phone, and the functions it has taken on over the last 40 or so years, means its les like to be an addictive habit. There is also a growing trend toward stand alone MP3 players and loading them from a physical medium, another topic all of its own, but something linked to the idea of returning to older tech, and creatingI this separation. I myself have dug out my ipod and started using it again. where i would invariably end up watching dross on youtube every time i would search for a song or album, I no longer do that.
I think the more we compartmentalize the mobile phone functionality, the better we are able to control the way we use it.

It’s funny, as read the article, I kept drawing parallelism to fiction novels where people who are alive after a massive world-ending cataclysm and decades/centuries later, they uncover these ancient and powerful artifacts spread throughout the world.
I am thinking, perhaps due to the nature of the latter generations upbringing, that they are seeing something that we - of millennials or older gens - perhaps forgotten or lost along the way. And some of us are lucky enough to look back and notice that perhaps, we’ve taken the wrong path, and taking all these steps, however cumbersome and inconvenient, to gain back what we’ve lost.
