The Emoji Movie's' trip through a smartphone world lacks imagination
Newspaper | Los Angeles Times
Date | 28.7.2017
Language | English
Country | U.S.
Topic Tags | emojis, smartphone, technology-free, word/writing
Summary | The new Emoji movie is like its main character: "meh". The story is unimaginative and pretty obvious. People should try to spend those 86 minutes outside, reading a book, or talking face-to-face to another person instead of watching this movie.

Why I Set My Phone Aside…Sometimes

Language | English
Country | U.S.
Topic Tags | (mental) health, smartphone, technology-free
Summary | Turning off one's phone at times can drastically improve one's well-being. While smartphones make our lives easier in many ways, they are also a constant source of disruption. Shutting it off for "family/couple/me time" allows one to enjoy the moment rather than be on-guard and available for any and all disruptions life may throw at you via smartphone.
