It has nothing to do with modern life. The human mind is generally only simulated by change. After a while you realize change beyond a certain frequency change is annoying too (see the koan about Sakyamuni and the "middle path").
I personally find it amusing to see tools which were meant to make people see the underlying meaningless and take up monastic practice, being used as a sort of mollifying tool. Then again, I don't meditate.

After a while you realize change beyond a certain frequency change is annoying too (see the koan about Sakyamuni and the "middle path")." Of course modern technological life has had an impact on self-reflection, you can be distracted more now than ever, whenever, wherever. "I personally find it amusing to see tools which were meant to make people see the underlying meaningless and take up monastic practice, being used as a sort of mollifying tool. Then again, I don't meditate." Can you elaborate on the point you're trying to make here? Curious...
