Summary | Smartphones and tablets are invading our lives and making us less social. People cannot live without their digital devices; they love them and carry them everywhere. Before smartphones and computers, people had time to think, and information didn't travel at the speed of light. The Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben claimed that we've never been so docile and coward at the same time. Smartphones and tablets are making us lonely. People used to gather around fires, and then around TV. Now everyone has his or her own screen and own headphones.
