Rethinking the Phone: From Talking Tool to Consuming Device
Description
Phones are no longer just phones — they’ve become powerful communication hubs that shape how we live, connect, and parent. Shane Hewitt and Mohit Rajhans dive into the changing role of mobile devices, asking what it means when a “phone” is rarely used for calls anymore.
The conversation unpacks generational differences in how technology is used, from Snapchat reshaping teen connections to the ways parents navigate when — and how — to introduce devices to their kids. Rajhans emphasizes the balance between digital consumption and creation, urging families to approach media literacy with awareness rather than fear.
It’s a thoughtful exploration of how technology has redefined communication and why parents must stay engaged in their children’s digital lives.
