- Laura's experience with the dating app and how it takes her attention
- How apps feed us what will keep us on there as long as possible
- The collapse of the public and private spheres with social media, and how it commercializes our personal lives
- The difference in our relationships with social media depending upon our age
- What do we wish to be doing with our time rather than spending it on these apps
- Looking at what is also working with where we are placing our attention
- The loss of connection that comes from always being on our phones
- The perils of paying attention in Laura's dating life!
