I’ve always had a bit of a phone phobia. That might sound paradoxical coming from a guy who has as much of an addiction to the damned thing as the next author with a social media feed and a doom scrolling habit, but I m talking mostly about the voice part of the phone. The part we don t use much anymore. There s just something about having a conversation without being able to read the other person’s body language and facial expressions that I find unsettling, and the idea of having to make telemarketing cold calls sounds like a special circle of hell to me. Not that there aren t aspects of our text-centric smart phones that get my hair up. Anyone who s ever mentioned some odd product within earshot of their phone only to find ads for that very thing the next time they log on to Facebook has ample reason to feel creeped out.
