Quotes to ponder:
"Digital connection is like chocolate chips in the pancake recipe of life. It is tasty and tempting to consume by the bagful."
"Analog companionship has flesh and blood in its code, not 1s and 0s. It has salt in its tears, not pixels."
"Out of habit, I reached for my phone. No signal. I left my digital crowd upstream. I paddled. I looked around."
