At some point, there was this shift where the technology was no longer being designed to benefit the user, but to benefit the creator. The problem is that the creators are now trillion-dollar multi-national organizations who also lobby against my wellbeing and safety in areas of rulemaking and regulation. So now I am fine foregoing the "technology" whenever I can.
I think the thing that's causing me the fatigue though is the constant change. For 000s of years people lived their whole lives with no technological change, whereas I've only been here for 2 decades and yet the world already works much differently than it did back then.
