Our phones are such amazing pieces of mobile, personal technology. We're using them for all the most mundane details though and they're detracting from some of the better things we could be doing with our time and intellects.
I feel it's a problem for all of us but as an elder millennial at least I have experienced a world without them. I feel for the younger generations - they're all consuming for them.
When I noticed it encroached on something I enjoy - trying to guess or remember a bit of trivia - my partner and I now have a rule that we must spend at least 5 minutes trying to guess who that actor is from, or who sings this song before we look it up. The technology was robbing us of imagination and rifling through the mental files.
I don't disagree with you at all though - we're using star trek tech and it's fucking cool.
