By 2012, 1 billion smartphones were in use worldwide, a revolution that has transformed our society forever. Mental health issues and obesity have increased, and by decreasing our time that was once used for mind wandering, our ability to concentrate, problem-solve, and reflect has declined. The manifold effects the smartphone is having on us has not gone unnoticed. Apps have been designed to combat the addictiveness caused by other apps designed with the very purpose of addicting us. Several documentaries have exposed our dependent behavior towards the screen. We reach for it without noticing. We know something is not right, but still, that small device that fits in the palm of our hand, and holds the answers to the universe, is an important part of our life. We can connect with each other. We can save our moments in an invisible cloud. It brings us together. 

​

It is entirely conflicting. That which enables our sociality also isolates us. What connects us, disconnects us. And when we use it so much, where is the line between real life and screen life?
