New Tech City's Bored & Brilliant Challenge Day 1
#NTCpocket
Keep your phone out of view while going about your day.
If you hadn’t already guessed, I’ve decided to do this challenge because I’m addicted to my phone. I have tendinitis in my hands, inflamed thumbs, and I’m no more or less popular than I was when I picked up the phone to tweet or Instagram. Sigh.
This was a hard one because I take the bus the work. It’s a long and boring 45 minute ride…but I’m proud to say I did this one.
In doing this task, I did suddenly notice 1) how quiet the bus is 2) how all of my fellow passengers are on their phones 3) how robotic we all must look staring at rectangular devices And 4) that I’m in my 30s and have a dead-end job with an oppressive boss. Also why don’t I have a car yet? Why does this bus stop at every stop even though there aren’t any people? WTF was I thinking moving out of San Francisco for Minnesota?! I should really win the lottery..
Creepy.
