I bought my first phone 25 years ago. It was a Nokia 3310, and despite its lack of a color display and very limited set of features, it still occupies the top spot in the list of my favorite phones I’ve ever owned. I also wish I still had it in my possession, but that’s a story for another time.
Now, if you had told me at the time that my future self would need a dedicated app to keep my phone use under control, I wouldn’t have believed you. First of all, apps on phones weren’t even a thing, so that whole concept would have been alien to me.
