Alter goes on to detail a survey of young adults that revealed that 46% of them said they would rather break a bone than break their phone – and many of the 54% who said they’d rather have a broken phone agonized about that decision."

I turned to the work of sociologists, economists, political scientists, historians, and others to broaden my understanding."
