You’re Out of Minutes

Statistics show that the average person spends more than 4hours on their cell phone per day.This amounts to 56 days or more of an entire year.While this statistic may not speak for all, it is staggering.Cell phones are such a ubiquitous part of our day-to-day activities that we have become dependent on them.Concurrently with this, the body, mind, imagination, and interpersonal skills have deteriorated.The human gives way to the supposedly ‘better-than-human’.The digital age, together with the recent explosion of AI, has brought with it many opportunities to connect in a far-reaching and immediate way, create, access, store and share information, track our vital statistics and increase efficiency.It has also compounded the rapid spread of misinformation, unemployment, mental health issues, sedentariness, social alienation, privacy and security risks, and environmental damage.The minutes keep ticking by.Reflecting on your lifetime, have they been well spent?
