People Holding Their Phones Magazine

It's no secret that some of us find the ubiquity of modern phone use in public rather annoying. While social and psychological critiques about the consequences of extreme amounts of screen use are well known, there's very little discussion of the fact that we are doing funny things with our bodies, often without realizing it. So, instead of scolding people for their behavior, we will simply examine it for what it is in order to make graphic portraits of the uncanny details of contemporary everyday life.
