This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

They're mostly just being technophobic, but the boomers are absolutely right that our phones have made us much more isolated from those around us. They've also helped people stay connected from great distances, but some people don't know when to put them down or don't remember how to socialize. I've definitely been one of those people at times.

Agreed. While I donโ€™t think tech is horrible in every way, I do believe people are over reliant on their phones when they really shouldnโ€™t be. This is coming from someone who hides their screen time report to avoid shame, so Iโ€™m not guiltless in this either.
