Is it time to break up with your phone?

The seamless integration of news into our social media feeds used to be a feature.

Now, for some people it’s overwhelming.

David Levy, a Professor Emeritus in the Information School at the University of Washington, helps us understand why we're still glued to our phones. 

And Patti Gorman, who's made it to 77 years of age without a cell phone, explains how she does it. 

We can only make Seattle Now because listeners support us. Tap here to make a gift and keep Seattle Now in your feed.
