‘Socially illiterate,’ Gen Z teens are attending phone-free parties to break free of their social media habits
Barely one month into the new year, and I'm already a busy bee. Here's what I'm working on cultivating so far! #amblogging #amreading #unplugging #cats

Preamble# The internet is the bane of my existence. Ads, distractions, sponsored content, bad news, bad ideas, more ads, social media, antisocial media, even more ads. Also, I’m a software developer, so the internet is basically indispensable for me, a central pillar of my income and a convenient way to communicate with friends, family, loved ones, associates, acquaintances, people from my sports club, superpositions of all previous groups and enemies alike. And I think my company runs ads, so in a way ads pay for my clothing and food and stuff. So I guess my current stance towards the internet would be somewhat neutral-ish, but that may still change.

Hyperconnectivity side-fx gradually surfacing in the #BasqueCountry
It remains to be seem whether is (i) #Unplugging fx, (ii) #Luddism, or (iii) an #Emancipatory reaction, or a bit of the 3 #AltxaBurua #Nomophobia
