If you could un-invent something, what would it be?

I am not sure why, but wordpress isn’t letting me title this post for some reason. I don’t know if it’s my computer or the website made a change or is having a glitch…

Anyway, if I could un-invent something, it would be the smartphone. Even though I do like my phone for a million reasons, I think the smartphone has introduced a ton of issues that haven’t made out lives better. There are times when I am grateful for my phone and the capabilities I have now. But there are more times when I wish I didn’t have to deal with the phone or the idea that I am always reachable. I don’t like being reachable all the time, or the irritation people feel when I choose to not be reachable. I try to maintain boundaries and not just answer my phone if I don’t feel like it.
