Mum was right... It's the damn PHONES!

Video Description

Alright, I confess... mum was right! They're there when we first wake up, at our dinner tables, in our pockets, and in our brains... the phone! Tonight, I discuss the ever-growing presence of screen time in our daily lives—and the quiet toll it's taking. From compromised attention spans to the vanishing art of doing, this is a call to reflection. I share eye-opening statistics and real-life insights into how our dependency on devices is reshaping the way we learn, live, and find joy in the everyday. Remember the Home Economics classes of the 1920s to 1970s? Those foundational skills—cooking, mending, creating with care—weren’t just about domesticity, they were about agency, patience, and the quiet triumph of repetition. Now, those skills are ebbing away, much like the steam that once powered heritage trains—slow, deliberate, beautiful. And yet, just like the passionate enthusiasts who preserve those vintage engines, we too can reclaim the rhythm of real life. If you've ever felt the ache of distraction or longed for a deeper connection to your day, this video is for you. Let’s talk about reclaiming presence, purpose, and the practical magic of doing. 🔔 New videos every Monday & Wednesday at 7PM GMT 🧵 Join me next Wednesday for the ULTIMATE digital detox. ================================= 🔥 Stay Connected: Subscribe for more content: https://youtube.com/@Realvintagedollshouse?si=LlJtKVAWFcvwcAmf Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/real_vintage_dollshouse/profilecard/?igsh=MWR5dGJ3M250M2drcA== Tik-Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@realvintagedollshouse?_t=8rtKROSGXZY&_r=1 Pigeon Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@comeonlittlepigeon?_t=8rtKLF8AY4H&_r=1 ================================= ☎️ Contact for inquiries: [email protected] ================================= 📢 Engage With Me: Comment below with your thoughts or questions!
