As an elder millennial who once owned a BlackBerry, I find this hilarious. Back then, we called them “crack berries,” because it felt like everyone was addicted.

Different~ I use the Blackberry for work, and I do try to keep my iPhone out of reach so I dont hop on TikTok mid-day (and I am old!!) but I know many people who have two phones one for social and one for everything else (text/ talk/ email) and when they go out or to the office they will leave the social phone home
