When the Screens Won
It's evening, and your whole family is in the same room — and completely apart. Your dad's scrolling. Your mum's answering work emails. Your sibling's deep in a game. You're on your own screen. Nobody's talking. The room is silent except for the little taps and pings, everyone glowing in their own separate bubble. You notice it tonight for some reason. You're all right there, together, and somehow not together at all. You can't remember the last time you all just... talked, in the evening, with the screens down. And you're not sure who's supposed to be the one to say something about it.
Would you rather have a family night all together, or everyone relaxing on their own screens? Why?
