You make a great point that smartphones connect us in amazing ways, but at the same time, they can make us forget to truly connect with the people around us. I totally relate to the part about always checking notifications and comparing ourselves to others it can be really exhausting.
Smartphones arenβt bad on their own, but we need to use them as tools, not let them control our attention and emotions. Being fully present with people in real life really does make a difference.
