In the quiet margins of contemporary public life, writer Ariel Levy has named a loss that many feel but few articulate: the slow erosion of concentrated presence, displaced by the perpetual pull of the smartphone. Speaking as a new contributor to 60 Minutes, Levy draws a deliberate parallel between today's pervasive phone use and the era when cigarette smoking reshaped shared spaces before society chose to reclaim them. Her concern is not with technology itself, but with what vanishes when every idle moment is filled — the capacity to be fully, undividedly somewhere.
