@LoneStarChica false.

It occurs to me that @Apple would be incredibly smart to release a communication device that did not allow social media. Not a device with software lockouts via screentime, a device that actually did not allow social media apps at all. A reduced app set, somehow hard-coded into the device. There is a huge market demand for this specific product.

We simply lack the self-discipline to not install these apps. Silicon Valley has figured out our weaknesses and how to make us addicted, and companies have figured out how to use our dopamine as a pathway to taking over our personal time. By blocking this, Apple would be seen as a benevolent actor in a sea of malicious tech companies.

Call it something catchy like:
The “Emancipation From Applications”.

As parent with teenagers, I have explored this space carefully, alongside all of dozens of thoughtful parents I respect, from all walks of life. I am familiar with all of the dumb phones, and know friends with many of the hardware solutions used to make social media inconvenient.

Increasingly, I know adults who want this product for themselves. It’s no longer just about kids.

The more I think about it the more I realize this would be a genius play on many levels.

I usually don’t say this, but please retweet this if you feel the same way. I want to know if it’s just me.

@helaineolen Kudos!! When my kindergarten daughter was fascinated by the steam/ice/liquid water concept she did her first science project. The youngest by 2 years, 7 years before most kids knew about the science fair at all. No ribbon, nada. But she wins bc she's a scientist now at 26.

@ballysportshelp @MLB @BallySportsSO @MLB_PR I did that, thanks. I observe this may be a business practice that unfairly @discriminates against disabled persons, as they have no access to choice to buy streaming with @BallySportsSO or @MLB_PR @MLB (my understanding is Bally does not own Braves streaming rights)

[Julie George @JGeorge65]

@MLB @BallySportsSO @MLB_PR Looking for a solution to get Braves games to my nursing home-bound brother when there is only one cable option and streaming is blacked out. Joseph at MLB via had no answers. Bally, what say you?

Tomorrow, I start a journey across the Great Smoky Mountains, ending with a celebration of #OurCommonNature in Knoxville. Here’s "Appalachia Waltz" with Edgar Meyer, performed in the Smokies last year. https://t.co/J4SNHfkZk6

The loss of a loved one can make us wonder why we are still living. Shirley Stinnett had that feeling but remembered that her trust in God helped remind her that God was with her during this difficult time. https://t.co/gAFED7iDyL

hearing aids are great. I love mine #costco

[Mary Louise Kelly @NPRKelly]

I felt the stigma when I was first told to get hearing aids— I thought, “I’m not old!” But they are life-changing & have allowed me to continue doing the job I love. More in today’s ⁦@washingtonpost⁩: https://t.co/X7vHekFbdM

Julie Labhart says when everything seems to be going smoothly, that's when Satan shows up. So what should we do when that happens? Julie has some ideas in today's devotional for Lent. https://t.co/nYjF3ESPhY
