The Google co-founder Sergey Brin has said that spending your life looking at a smartphone is “emasculating”
Talking about the way people walk around hunched over their smartphones, he said: “Is this the way you’re meant to interact with other people? It’s kind of emasculating. Is this what you’re meant to do with your body?”
He admitted that he was as much a victim of this, adding, according to the TED blog: “I have a nervous tic. The cell phone is a nervous habit — If I smoked, I’d probably smoke instead, It’d look cooler. But I whip this out and look as if I have something important to do. It really opened my eyes to how much of my life I spent secluding myself away in email.”
