Amazing clarity with which you have voiced some thoughts we all might have had, though not consciously. I don't have school going kids but I do think of their dependence on phones and internet.

The part I loved the most was the part about what makes us special. Nontransactional kindnesses -- this phrase is going to stay with me for as long as I live. Brilliant piece.

Fantastic piece and something I've been deliberating on. Qualities like empathy, kindness and collaboration go a long way to combat any technology driven initiative.
