Grammy-winning rapper Kanye West is giving an interesting perspective to the usage of phones. Yeezy has hit up social media to share commentary on people’s obsessions with their powerful gadgets.
West went to Twitter this week to urge fans to reconsider how much they invest in using their phones.
Look at your phone as tool not an obligation. Would you walk around with a hammer in your pocket? You would pick up a hammer when you needed it you would never be addicted or obligated to it. Use your phone like a hammer only pick it up when you need it.

before Edward Bernays Americans purchased things based off needs There was a a time in the 20s when women didn’t smoke in public so Edward Bernays masterminded a campaign to make it culturally acceptable so that companies could sell more cigarettes..it’s that kind of vibe..
