FEATURE: Could you survive without a phone?

AT midnight in the Harbour Bar in Leap, West Cork, the five of us reached for our phones. For three hours, we had engaged in a social experiment to resist those phones, stacked in the centre of the table.
The person who reached for their phone first had to pay with a round of drinks. We thought it would be easy, but it wasn’t, indicating how attached we’ve become to these clever pieces of plastic.
