Episode Details

And if you do, how annoying is it that people presume you have one?

This conversation was prompted by this tweet from writer Laura Elliott - follow her, she’s great and her cats are adorable. (In the intro to this episode, I get the location of the original story wrong by about five hundred miles, sorry.)

Thanks to writer, librarian and smartphone refusenik Beck (follow her, too) for sharing her thoughts.

As well as the presumed ubiquity of smartphones, this episode includes:

* digital inclusion and exclusion

* the apparent lack of disabled and disadvantaged decision-makers

* social media pressures

* Christmas, and the pressures, feelings and memories that surround it

Next episode will talk more about how it’s OK to feel weird about Christmas, but in the meantime, please

And if you haven’t already

And perhaps

And of course

Stay warm, dry and groovy. More soon.
