REFLECTION QUESTIONHealth & Equity Spend Time OutsideWhat are the implications for a culture that spends most of its time inside and on screens?
Cameron Maddox 4/03/2023 1:50 PMOne thing that I noticed when walking around my neighborhood today was how few people were outside. I think a major reason for that is how addicting screens can be, creating a consistent, comfortable environment at your fingertips whenever you want it. This has made it hard for my wife and I to meet our neighbors because 1) we are not outside enough, and 2) neither are our neighbors!
