The careers of Ms. France and Mr. Green churn up plenty for internet sleuthing. In 1999, Ms. France, 59, was the founding editor of the Condé Nast shopping magazine Lucky.

But because we don’t totally understand where that experience has delivered us, we don’t know the right gloss to give it. “The days are strange,” one public-school teacher told Milstein toward the end of his first interview, in May 2020.

The free feature promises to let iPhone users contact dedicated dispatchers in emergency situations via satellites when a cell phone network is unavailable. During my test with an iPhone 14 provided by Apple, I attempted to call 911 but was automatically redirected to Emergency SOS via Satellite dispatchers for the purposes of the demo. On Tuesday, Apple will launch the Emergency SOS with Satellite feature for those with an iPhone 14 in the United States and Canada. Apple said because the user may be in a distressed state, a questionnaire helps to gather critical information more quickly. For now, Emergency SOS via satellite only works in English, Spanish, and French, although the dispatchers have professional interpretation services available for many more languages.

That's why a bunch of my friends and I started the Luddite Club. The Luddite Club began in 2021, led by my friend Logan. The three of us felt like a group, and that's when the Luddite Club was officially born. We have a rule to never take out your phone, even your flip phone, in the company of others. We're hoping to create mini "take a book, leave a book" libraries around Prospect Park in Brooklyn, with signs painted by the Luddite Club.
