Though convenient to some, this increased reliance on digital devices represents yet another intrusion on basic human privacy. It is taken for granted that you can be accessed instantaneously at the whim of another. We are rapidly losing the option to opt out without also losing all benefits of a shared social network.You really can't run away from it. The Covid-19 situation FORCED me to get a "smart"phone for the first time in my life. I could not distance teach my students without the Zoom and Whatsup Applications, really couldn't.
The irony does not escape me that I am writing this on a digital platform.
