I was putting my phone first before reading a book.
I do both. I’m sure many people who see me when I’m out on my own, sat in a cafe or a pub, staring at the screen in my hand tut to themselves and mutter about being obsessed with social meeja or some such, when actually I’m listening to music and reading one of the many books I have on my phone and tablet – several hundred or so.
I gave up on following Fb nearly a year ago, very seldom look at it now, Twitter gets a cursory glance every now and then, I hardly ever contribute to it, and Instagram barely registers with me.
Still, I spend a lot of time on here, so I’m not entirely disconnected from social media…
