This is a shallow and poorly written article that doesn't begin to address the issues confronting us. We are being replatformed as a society. Tech companies are addicting us to new ways of connecting. Those same media are sometimes necessary to do our jobs; i.e., the food we are addicted to is also the food we need to survive. Making relapse inevitable.
America, and especially its behaviorally addicted youth, are losing hours per day and hundreds of years of their lives to this crap. And it's not as easy as just saying "I learned to love the difficulty of connecting offline." I don't believe that.
What we need is a modern version of AA to march people through the 12 steps towards a dopamine landscape that is less stimulating.
