I will respond anyway I guess.
All those things you mentioned are great, sure. But to my mind, something can be useful, fun, loved, enjoyed while actively making your life worse. The obvious example being addictive drugs.
My smartphone, for example, has definitely made a lot if things more convenient. It use it all the time, for all sorts of useful things. Marvelously useful piece of technology, the smartphone. Has it improved my life? I'm honestly not sure, but my gut reaction is no, because it's ruined my already limited ability to focus(I have ADHD). It actually makes me far more productive having my phone turned off, despite how useful I seem to think it is.
My point is that something can be useful and do all sorts of things for you, but that can still be true while it's actively harmful to you. And you might not even be conscious of this about yourself, let alone most of the global population.
