S2E30 | The Imprint of Smartphones on Our Souls

In the quiet of my study, I often find myself gazing at this small device that has become humanity's most faithful companion. It is the first thing I reach for when I open my eyes in the morning and the last thing I look at before surrendering to sleep. As I contemplate the place of this small piece of metal and glass in our lives, I find myself in a position not unlike Montaigne, who observed the customs and people of his time. I too wish to examine this most prominent symbol of the digital age and how it transforms us.
