Because really what are we without our screens? The human face is frightening. There are emotions there. Hope, fear, love, anger. Eyes open, window to soul. Much easier to hold the rest of humanity at arm's length. I can put the phone down wherever and whenever it suits me. I don't have to look at your face. I don't have to recognize imago Deo in the pigment of your skin, the wave of your hair, the color of your eyes. Much easier to reduce you to pixels on my screen no more than 2.5 inches wide by 7 inches tall.
