Think Twice: Do I Really Need a Physical Barrier Between Me and My Phone?

Why I am Contemplating Purchasing the Brick By Katherine Markello Photo by Gretchen Barnard The folder on my homescreen that contains all of my social media apps is titled “Think Twice,” and has been for as long as I can remember. I cannot, however, remember the last time I actually thought twice before plunging into the social media world we are all so intimately familiar with today.
