@gruber I have been trying for a while to pare back my screen time to just the bare essentials so that I can feel less pressure to be constantly “productive” and to be a better social participant (both at home and standing in line at the grocery store). I’m clearly not alone given the apparent demand for screen time tracking (and limiting) features that are now available baked into iOS.
Sure, I love my device, but I hate that it owns my (and our collective) attention outright.
@gruber It’s not often I disagree with your take on tech, but I bristled at the highlighted bit in your latest post.
Rather than a willing choice, I think instead we are compelled to consume information from our phones any time we have a few free seconds because our brains want to chase easy dopamine hits, and modern tech keeps making those hits more readily available. I don’t think that constant chasing feedback loop is healthy or sustainable for humanity in the long run.
