Cell phones or external limbs?

By Ben Spicer–

At the start of October, I decided to do the unthinkable: I was going to go an entire month without using my cell phone or social media. I conducted the experiment to see how it would impact myself and my personal relationships. Overall, the results were rather surprising.

As a millennial, I’ve watched cell phones and social media become an enormous part of the world around me. I remember the days of flip phones, where accessing the internet on your phone would cost you a small fortune on your bill. I can also remember the beginning phases of social media, and wasting countless and pointless hours updating my MySpace profile.
