Smartphones have embedded themselves into the fabric of modern existence over the past three decades. Graham Dugoni, CEO of Yondr, advocates for a balanced approach to technology, suggesting that instead of banning devices entirely in social settings, society should adopt a supportive, understanding stance. Drawing from existentialist philosophy, Dugoni emphasizes that the pervasive use of smartphones has fundamentally altered human experiences. He contends that acknowledging the technology's impact while fostering mindful use can promote healthier interactions with these devices.
I'm interested in the role of technology in modern life, fundamentally. Instead of putting the kibosh on devices entirely, we need to treat modern society like a teenager on a rebellious streak.
As digital media and smartphones were kind of taking root... I had a very different belief. I thought that the experience of walking around in the world with a phone in their pocket was going to be a radically different human experience.
