The author of OP's link has a net worth of $1.5 million. She absolutely has no idea of the problems non-millionaire zoomers have. She appears to genuinely believe taking away the phone will solve everything (it won't).
- nonrandomstring 3y ago> taking away the phone will solve everything (it won't). Very true. Indeed, with my understanding of addiction one thing I fear we'd have to endure with a step change - like a backlash where millions of young people dump their phones, or an large scale failure of technology, is that they wouldn't know what to do with themselves. Plunged from a superficially meaningful digital holding-pen into an empty real world would be insane. Positive cultural change has to happen slowly enough. > The author of OP's link has a net worth of $1.5 million. She absolutely has no idea of the problems non-millionaire zoomers have. I don't believe wealth is a factor in understanding per se. To my eyes, the poverty of life that accompanies a smartphone lifestyle is equally hurtful to rich and poor alike.
