Most of us carry with us everywhere one of the most corrosive, divisive, wasteful and narcissistic forms of evil currently affecting modern society. Wherever you go, you have an electronic tag and listening device with you stealing your focus, time, energy and attention. Neil reminds us of how much better things could be if we cut the cord to the mobile phone.

‘It takes you away from real life. The face-to-face communication you engage with other people should matter more to you than your online audience.’

‘Are you hooked on your phone? What’s it doing for you really?’
