You and I are the same. Ive been replacing phone distraction crap with better things like books and crafts. Or my GBC, lol

The human brain can't handle all the shit in our devices. They're detrimental to learning.

I recall a book where people were mandated to have an ear piece that shrieks every 6 seconds, to make sure no one ever has any deep thoughts, to keep them dumb and compliant. Guess what our phone notifications are doing? Its probably the worst thing humans have done in the long term.

If everyone is addicted but you would you think that’s their problem or is it now your problem, too?

I do those things... and social media/phone users tell me I'm an asshole for not being addicted to my phone.

It's socially isolating for a lot of people if they aren't doing what everyone else is doing and aren't following social media trends that most people are freaking out about.

I've had to socially isolate myself a lot more the last few years because it's so intensely pervasive. Like I meet people, they ask me what my social media handle is, and they get ANGRY when I say I don't use it. And even ANGRIER when they ask me what I spend all my time doing and I say I read paper books, watch films from the library, etc. and they tell me that makes me anti social and a pretentious douchebag.
