Conversations with my Brother – Your Smartphone (Ep. 33)

Conversations with my Brother – Your Smartphone (Ep. 33)

Your smartphone is your constant companion. Your connection to the world. An extension of you. But is your smartphone REALLY bad for you? In this episode, Eugene Chang and I talk about how we use our iPhone and Android devices respectively, and discuss whether this is a good or bad thing. Eugene talks about some apps that have been especially useful for him as a techy, and I describe (and attempt to defend) the Rube Goldberg like contortions I make to "stick it to big telecom."

This is the first of what hopefully will be a series of "conversations with my brother" about topics we think are interesting and relevant in our modern age. Thanks for listening!

"We are made of the same stardust of which all things are made, and when we are immersed in suffering or when we are experiencing intense joy we are being nothing other than what we can't help but be: a part of our world." – Carlo Rovelli
