The effect of unconstrained technology upon the collective psyche is worse than most people realize.
The phones are too easy to use, and the content they deliver is too stimulating. In the 80s, all of our grandparents used to say “TV rots your brain,” and we would laugh and call them old. In 2003, I quit TV and never went back. I absolutely promise you, TV rots your brain.
I remained without a smartphone until 2012, when I moved to a major city. I then avoided becoming addicted to it until COVID, when there was nothing to do for 2 years. I promise… the smartphone rots your brain.
Our expectations of real life are being altered by images that are not real life. Everyone is a zombie. Things are bad.
