The consequences of mobile devices

In the ever-evolving intersection of technology and humanity, a significant shift has taken place. And the reality, is that it's been well underway long before the recent AI boom.

"I think when you're innovating, of course, there will be unintended consequences."— Jony Ive

We believe that technology should be as intuitive, helpful, and help humanity solve problems. But should it be so easy, that we default to it for everything? Should it be so addictive, that we choose spending time with our devices, versus time with our friends and loved ones, and even ourselves?

What can we do?

There is no doubt an epidemic of mobile device and app addiction and compulsive over-use. What defines the human experince – how we spend our time – has rapidly evolved. Take for example the list below:

  • Being alone
  • Spending uninterrupted time with our own thoughts
  • Venturing into nature without distractions
  • Being happy with boredom

When is the last time you've taken space for these core human needs? How do mobile devices get in the way for you? For your family?

Join us to fight back

Join us as we redefine what daily digital doses look like. At Honeycrisp, we're taking a different approach. One that puts people first, devices second.
