This document discusses how digital and mobile technologies have changed people's lives and who they are. It suggests that while tools shape us, we also shape the tools we create. Many anecdotes and quotes are provided about how smartphones and apps have enabled new forms of social connection, creativity, learning and self-expression on the go. Experts discuss both the benefits of these changes as well as calls for ensuring technologies serve human purposes and do not become addictive or replace in-person interaction.

for others, it's a lifeline.
