Before smart phones, people had limited exposure to media. You have to physically go to a store to buy your newspaper. You have to tune in to your favorite channel at a specific time to watch a TV series. Remember the age of beepers? You have to call a number so you can send a text message to your friend. I feel that the additional friction we had back then on these things were actually good for us. We’re going to look at how we can apply the principles of Stoicism—intentionality, self-discipline, and balance—to help us reclaim our focus and inner calm in this hyper-connected world.
