We all know them, we all see them, heck - some of us can’t even go to the bathroom without them. Mobiles and smart devices. They’ve grown beyond just tools to call people or check the occasional email.

Personally, I’m a bit split on the whole thing. On one hand, that new Samsung S21 is a beast! The camera quality is next level. Have you tried it? A photo clicked on S21 gives even a basic yard a makeover - clear skies, vibrant colors - it’s all brilliant!
But not all is roses. I often find myself a slave to the incessant notifications. Whether I’m at work or spending time with friends, the badge counter on my mobile silently grows, nagging and pulling me away from what’s in front. It’s like that small kid constantly tugging at your pant, asking for attention. Mates, I sometimes miss the old, simpler Nokia times.
And what about Alexa? She seems to be the uber helpful assistant, always there to tell a joke or play my favorite music. But then, I can’t forget that cringeworthy moment when I was in a serious business meeting (thankfully still virtual!) and out of nowhere Alexa started listing out random facts about sloths. Very 🤔
