I think the important consequence of putting away your phone is becoming bored. Bored is not an ideal state to be in, but it is the state you need to be in to come up with new ideas. When you are bored, your mind will wander for anything you could be up to. You will think about friends and ...

I don't want to turn this into an argument thread, but I would like to disagree with my experience.

I would amend your Accessibility criterion to be defined by a more important consideration: it's something everyone can have, whether or not they do already, without the approval of a third party. The important characteristic of email is not merely that it is well established and everyone is likely ...

The Holotypic Occlupanid Research Group (HORG) is an online archive of the little (usually) plastic bread bag clips (occlupanids) found ubiquitously in supermarkets, written as though compiled and categorized by real zoologists studying a strange lifeform.
