On many college campuses, students almost always carry their phones wherever they go. They text while walking to class and look through social media as they wait for lectures to start. Silence often becomes screen time, and conversation stops.
One student, Seán Killingsworth, felt worried about this growing habit. “It was just like I'm talking to a bunch of zombies,” he said, recalling how his peers (同龄人) would barely look up from their phones even during group gatherings. He missed real conversation and wanted fewer distractions.
In 2023, Killingsworth started the Reconnect Movement. Students hand over their phones to volunteers at the door and spend an hour socializing without screens.
During these phone-free meetings, participants sit in circles, share favorite music playlists, and talk about everything from academic stress to personal hobbies. “At first it can feel awkward,” said one club leader. Many people use their phone as a digital comfort when they feel nervous or unsure of what to say. But after a few minutes, they relax and enjoy the conversation.
Experts still debate how smartphones affect mental health. Some studies say taking a break helps people feel calmer and happier, while other research points out that social media can be a valuable tool for students to express themselves and stay connected with peers who share similar interests or struggles.
Students say the meetings help them reconnect with friends and classmates. Killingsworth calls them “human connection habitats”, places where people can remember how natural conversation feels.
The group hopes that practicing this habit makes students notice how often they reach for a distraction. By being present together, they learn to balance technology with real people.
