I'd destroy modern phones.

Modern phones are too much. Over the top. They feel necessary now but never were. I think a lot of technology peaked in the Nineties or early Noughties.

[It's] the opposite of the phrase, If it's not broken don't fix it. Technologically speaking, we've been breaking loads of things that have been working fine and then charging people for the updates. I never watched television in my teens and thought, I wish this was more defined. To be honest, I was at peace with a CD Walkman.

And this new era has us hooked. And impatient. And wired. And I feel as though it pulls us from ourselves and our authentic beings and desire to connect.

I think we were happy walking to the shops. Weren't we?
