Since I got my first smartphone back in 2006, my relationship with my phone has certainly changed my life. It’s also changed how I function as a person in this world, for better and for worse. Turns out, I’m not the only one, which is why I was so excited to chat with Emmy-award-winning journalist, and host of the new Mobile Diaries podcast from T-Mobile Stories, Shawna Ryan.
We chat about our first phones, how our lives changed when we got them, and how we’re approaching our phone use (and our kids’ phone use) now, in a post-pandemic world, plus a whole lot more!
