Good grief!—

Haven't you always wanted a phone that plays Snoopy videos for your kids to look at while you take the perfect picture of them?

No, I think you know better than to embrace deep reliance on these things from infancy—

& I think that you'll do what you need to make sure they don't subsume you ever again, at any age, period.

We can steer the future of tech if we come together more—so let us keep gathering, in classrooms with NO rush-job generative AI, in new attention sanctuaries, & at all sorts of offline Events.

No more new iPhones. Stay with the trouble, my friends—

—Nick
