Medium fit

Screen Time appears subtly in Joe Linsky's story through the viral video of his attack. Joe had to decide how much mental space to give this digital version of his trauma that was spreading across screens worldwide. While he initially threw his phone down after watching it, he eventually found balance — using the video as a reminder of his survival rather than obsessing over it. He also mentioned being on his phone when pushed, showing how a moment of digital distraction intersected with real-world violence. Joe had to recalibrate how much screen exposure he could handle while healing.
