Media times: Please ignore your screen time

You’re slowly running out of small talk topics. Weather? May accidentally lead to controversial debates with Aunt Erna about the climate crisis. The train? Bad topic when the nice party guest turns out to be a confident SUV driver. It’s good that there is one thing that you can complain about without conflict and that still supports a twenty-minute conversation: the excessive use of smartphones.
