Finding it hard to concentrate? Are you glued to social media for
longer than you’d like? Well, maybe it’s not you… maybe it’s the
phones. Brittany is joined by Magdalene Taylor, writer, cultural
critic and senior editor at Playboy, and Fio Geiran, producer
at TED Radio Hour and a writer of their Body
Electric newsletter, to discuss this phrase: “it’s the
phones.” They get into the effects that smartphones have on our
brains and our culture, why some people are returning to
“dumbphones,” and why it might take more than willpower to manage
our relationships with our phones.
