In this three-part series, here’s the first piece that looks at how tech – the smartphone, the Internet, and other corollary technologies – has changed the nature of our conversation.
I would be highly hypocritical if I said I didn't use my phone a lot. Indeed many useful apps. I also love my Apple Watch. Given the news cycle, I feel that it's hard not to want to stay up to date.

One of the biggest challenges for me has been to curtail my curiosity (a nose for rabbit holes) to link it to what is essential as opposed to "nice to have/know."
