Dave Pell:
In a way, staring at a screen is lot like being alone in your car. When someone cuts you off, you adopt a totally different personality; one defined by urgency and often explosive anger. No one can hear you scream as you speed down the highway with the music blaring and windows rolled up.
Screen rage is the new road rage. Except everyone can hear you scream.
If I could choose but one trait to remove from my life, it would be screen rage. Perhaps rage isn’t the ideal word - maybe screen-induced social withdrawal is more appropriate. The attention that our screens demand really shouldn’t trump the attention that our friends and loved ones deserve. Life is finite and those “just a minute"s add up. Hopefully we will all remember that and turn off our screens when presented with the opportunity.
