It wouldn’t even be slightly groundbreaking for me to decry that we’re looking down at our phones too much these days. Our pocket-sized computers consume us as we doomscroll through our various feeds; saving recipes we’ll never use, listening to the same sound 15 times in a row, and shamelessly gorging on brainrot content. We really are paying too much attention to phones, and in the process, we miss out on much of the beauty that life has to offer.
Recently though, I was able to break away. I was able to avert my eyes from my phone. I was able to resist the temptation of endless TikTok scrolling. I was even able to pull myself away from Instagram and Reddit. For a while, at least, I was able to feel truly free. And it was all thanks to this: an earbuds case with Flappy Bird on it.
