Hi Mike, as I am much older than you are, I’m used to live without any devices, especially my phone that I turn off at night. I think your advice are very acurate for your generation. I talk a lot about that with my 11 year old daughter at home, explaining to her that screens are passive tools and they tend to eat creative time if we don’t put them out. She’s got limited access to them for now but she turns to them immediately when she gets bored rather than try and think of a new thing to do. I’ve explained to her that it’s important to get bored from time to time because that’s what allow us to create new things, new activities and get new ideas as well. I send you lots of love, Mike.
