Excellent, insightful comment and I very much appreciate and resonate with this response.

I do think the protest serves to raise awareness, even if it's a bit extreme. The desired effect is not really to encourage the complete rejection of tech, but bring attention to the issues and get the average person to think a little more about their usage of it. I'm actually kind of proud of these young folks for being able to snap themselves out of the social media-induced hypnotic state their generation seems to be stuck in.
