Always wild concept to me. People bringing their $1000 electronics into an environment not made for them. Like come on, how long are you in the shower, do you really need to be entertained while washing your body?

you can find plenty of phones for $100-$400

I’ve noticed an increasing number of people that use their phone the entire time they’re at the urinal in public restrooms. This takes what? A minute tops? I’ve also seen people set it next to the sink to keep looking while washing their hands…assuming they even do to begin with.

Tech addiction is tough. When people don't like their environment they try to escape it and unfortunately the black mirror is there waiting for them. It's not productive but it provides comfort.
