Aaron Street: Yeah, I guess
rather than an analogy to cars I think maybe a more
useful way of thinking about this is more like an insurance sales person or even more a financial advisor, wealth manager, where you are engaging them for the purpose of giving you advice and it turns out that their business model, though it involves giving advice, also includes things like selling you product and this isn't to denigrate law firm IT consultants, or
tech consultants in general, it's just to make sure that people are aware of how their business model works and then to make sure that you're using them in a way that acknowledges that.
Price says our attitudes about
tech addiction need adjusting —
rather than taking a «
tech detox,» the goal should be to use our phones in ways that are
useful and enjoyable, and using them less when they make us sad or distracted.
