I'd be interested to hear more. Do ping me if you have time.
> While there’s a number of titles talking about internet or tech
addiction, all we're doing is pointing out a problem rather than
taking actual steps to improve our character to rid ourselves of
these things to begin with. This problem is only going to get harder
for the individual, and it’s up to each one of us to battle our own
battles. No amount of reform will solve it for us.
You might be interested to read Digital Vegan [1]. The food metaphor goes
quite a long way. I really see it as a public health issue.

- thenerdhead 4y agoI love the metaphor. I especially love using the Michael Pollan quote of “If it’s a plant eat it, if it’s made in a plant, don’t” or similar. I think that can be applied to our use of technology and especially content/digital consumption. I’ll have to send you an email when I get back from vacation. Thanks for the kindness.
