Everywhere we go recently we keep seeing our generation complaining about the lack of connection with one another. Whether it’s a soundbite on the morning radio or a segment on the news. People feel lonely, and it’s no wonder.
We spend so much time buried in our phones, we miss the joy of spontaneous calls or coffee dates. Since putting our phone’s away is too much of an ask, we’ve compiled a list of apps that will actually help you spend time with your nearest and dearest – just don’t forget to put it away while you’re with them!
