Louis argued that kids feel safer bullying their peers via text, when they are able to hide behind a screen.
He also feels that phones distract people from necessary feelings of isolation and sadness.

The comedian recalled a recent time in which he heard a Bruce Springsteen song while driving that brought back some emotional memories.
"I started to get that sad feeling and reached for my phone, but I thought 'don't' - just be sad, let it hit you like a truck," he explains. "I pulled over and I just cried like a bitch, it was beautiful. Sadness is poetic."
But once he let the sadness hit him, Louis says, "I was grateful to feel sad and then I met it with true, profound happiness."
