Grayscale is essentially moving your phone away from color to black and white.

I have it automatically on my phone.

And since our phone is our primary news consumption device, and it's especially helpful at night when you are sitting on your couch after a long day's work and you want to go to bed early because we talked about 10 o'clock bedtime, but who actually goes to bed at 10?

And, oh no, I did something here.

But what it does is it switches my phone automatically.

to black and white.

And there's a way that you can program that.

Why?

Because you scroll and then you end up, you know, you finish your two hours of mindless scrolling and you're like, what was that?

And so you're like, oh, I don't really want to scroll here.

What was the point of that anyway?

It's kind of boring and I'm just going to go to bed instead.
