      At 10pm on a weekday? I mean I get chatting to your significant other about stuff but outside of that I don’t see anything happening even if we removed phones from the equation.

        Go to bed early, sleep well, wake up for a whole new day feeling refreshed.

        They used to have these things called “books”, before they were all banned.

        You’d be surprised how many phone calls took place at that time.

        Mayne talking about a show, or chatting someone up, etc. You were bored, so a phone was great.

          Fair enough.

          I didn’t consider a phone call from a dumb phone as human contact. Guess it goes to show how much I conflate phone with smart phone now.
