I am still young enough to remember my maiden speech and introduction. The other thing that happened after my introduction—I do not know whether this happened to anyone else—was that once my friends and family saw the cloakroom downstairs, which looks like primary school, for ever after they say, “Are you going to school today, then?” The thing that has been like being at school since I have been here is that I have so many more WhatsApp groups on my phone, and my attention is fragmented so much more by them—even, dare I say, by WhatsApp groups about smartphones. That gives me the slightest insight into how much worse it is for young people, with the number of times that their phones ping during the day.
