"We didn’t wear watches and we didn't have phones so there was no way for parents to tell us it was time to come home. Streetlights were a curfew warning you to be home in time for tea," writes PAUL DORIN.
"We no longer memorise phone numbers or passwords, emergencies no longer feel as risky with instant access to help, and getting lost has become almost impossible with maps guiding every turn," writes PAUL DORIN.
"Mobile phone behaviour is the modern frontier of irritation where basic social norms quietly give up. Someone checks a notification mid-conversation and suddenly you’re competing for their attention," bemoans PAUL DORIN.
