“
Thomas,
you are completely a dreamer

beautiful wife.
That's what she loved
about him most

he had a vivid imag in ati on. They
got married at age eighteen and began
having children right away. Mary

within the year, followed by Thomas Benjamin II,

Lilly pushed her down the
long dark halls of the nursing home until they
arrived at the recreational room.
When the doors opened, Melinda put her
hand over her mouth and was
completely
speechless. The room was crowded with the people n

dearestto her and the warmth
and love was felt instantly. The night went on;
stories and cocktails were shared and

a smile on
her face, she raised her Manhattan and called out
for a toast.

石家庄一模
]At 9
: 30 a. m. on a Wednesday morning, I received a
notification
(
通知
)
that I'd already picked up my phone 30 times that
day!
“
11 left until you go
over your goal of 41 pickups
,”
my screen read.
“
Put your phone down until
9
:
52 a
.
m.! Enjoy your time living in the
moment.
”
These updates were sent via Moment, an
app that tracks the screen time,
created
by
Kevin
Holesh in
2014
to
fight
his
own
device addiction.
He
was
working as an independent app
developer, spending hours each day staring
at
screens.
After
work,
Holesh
found
that
he
was
looking
mindlessly
online
instead of talking to his wife or
taking his dogs for a walk.
“
I wanted a way
of seeing how much time I was sinking into my
phone
,”
he said.
“
So I came up with something
that could monitor my screen time.
”
Holesh found that he was spending 75
minutes on his phone a day. He added
a
function to the app that informed him whenever his
screen time was more
than 40 minutes.
“
My phone would make a sound
like a bee, and I'd go and
do something
else. It was like something pushing me in the
right direction
,”
he said.
Holesh figured that if the system worked for him,
it would work for
others, and later
that year he made Moment a free app. To date, it
has been
downloaded 8 million times.
Besides,
Moment
also
has
a
“
coach
”
function,
offering
guided
programs to help
users focus and be more productive, for $$7.99 a
month.
“
I am so much
happier, I sleep better, I read more, I take
better care of
myself, and most of all
I am present in my day- to-day life
,”
Jack, a user
said. Similar
comments on Moment reflect a growing consciousness
around
“
digital
wellness
”,
the
name given to lifestyle practices that encourage
healthy device use.
