Before these talks began -- you guys know this -- we were told we weren't allowed to have our smartphones on, and I have to say, a lot of you looked an awful lot like addicts who were told their dealer was going to be unavailable for the next couple of hours. (Laughter) A lot of us feel like that, and it might sound weird to say, I've been talking about how disconnection is a major driver of addiction and weird to say it's growing, because you think we're the most connected society that's ever been, surely.
Pirms šīm runām – jūs jau zināt – mums lika izslēgt viedtālruņus, un jāsaka, ka daudzi no jums izskatījās kā narkomāni, kuriem paziņo, ka piegādātājs nākamās pāris stundas nebūs pieejams. Daudzi no mums tā jūtas, un var izklausīties dīvaini... Es stāstīju, ka attiecību trūkums ir lielākais atkarību izraisītājs, un dīvaini, ka šī problēma pieaug, jo mēs taču dzīvojam attiecībām bagātākajā sabiedrībā.
