Phone Addiction – Fusion Nepal

Instagram CEO Kevin Systrom has confirmed reports that it is launching “usage insights” for Android.

The feature will allow ‘grammers to see “time spent” on Instagram, in an effort to help users to gain an “understanding [of] how time online impacts people.”

We’re building tools that will help the IG community know more about the time they spend on Instagram – any time should be positive and intentional.

Understanding how time online impacts people is important, and it’s the responsibility of all companies to be honest about this. We want to be part of the solution. I take that responsibility seriously.

You know not all’s well with mankind when devices like these seem like a good idea.

The Substitute Phone is a weighted plastic block that comes with rollable beads in the middle. You’re encouraged to swipe your thumb across them, as you would to unlock your phone or scroll up and down the screen — a gesture most of us do hundreds, if not thousands of times a day.

The beads are made of stone, and the entire device is made to feel and weigh similarly to the average smartphone.
