I think there needs to be a culture shift. It's already happening among millennial parents where they don't give phones to kids till they're old enough or even 18.

I mean I agree, and folks my age (gen z) do police one another on phone usage at dinner, for example. I just wish there was an easier or better way to expedite this cultural shift.

It kinda reminds me of cigarettes. A similarly addicting thing that largely disappeared in the US when it became unfashionable/shameful. Is there a way to make this happen for phones, I wonder.

It didn't happen with cigarettes until multiple generations and grown up addicted to them.
