It does feel at times the mobile phone is getting the upper hand. Technology has a way of taking over our lives.
The simple act of just “talking” to someone, which most of us take for granted, could be the turning point in someone else’s life.
This is huge and steemit has a huge role to play. It's a a place where you can come and chat 24 7 and it's also a place where you can get involved with activities and initiatives and even get to meet people at meetups.
I think that steemit may indeed be paving the way for the evolved social attention model.
