Finding it hard to concentrate? Are you glued to social media for longer than you’d like? Well, maybe it’s not you… maybe it’s the phones.
Brittany is joined by Magdalene Taylor, writer, cultural critic and senior editor at
Playboy, and Fio Geiran, producer at
TED Radio Hour and a writer of their
Body Electric newsletter, to discuss this phrase: “it’s the phones.” They get into the effects that smartphones have on our brains and our culture, why some people are returning to “dumbphones,” and why it might take more than willpower to manage our relationships with our phones.
