Louis C.K., who ranted on the abuse of smartphones himself, said, “You just feel kind of satisfied with your product,” as opposed to the unique, emotional interaction that no machine can provide. I encourage face-to-face interaction whenever possible. When you have a friend who’s living far away and all you can do is text or call, that is reasonable.
