Summary
This week we're discussing how phones, social media, and technology affect relationships. We talk about the New York Times' article "Stop Googling, Let's Talk," and how our obsession with phones actually is changing the way humans interact with each other and decreasing our empathy. We discuss social media oversharers, how to make more meaningful memories, and how phones affect parenting.
