Ye. I mean it is bad for us as individuals and collective to constantly have an internet connected computer available. I don't know what we should do about it

Ye. I mean it is bad for us as individuals and collective to constantly have an internet connected computer available.
I don't know what we should do about it though. Like any cure would be to authoritarian for my taste. Hope for culture change? Like how fronting the TV as the center of your family life at home is not hip anymore.
- MichaelZuo 2y agoWhy should there be something plausible to “do about it”? That doesn’t seem like the default for most things in the universe.
- rightbyte 2y agoI am proposing that we should hope that we just sort it out without doing anything. I think that is like claiming that there is not some nice fix. I for example am burned out on scrolling feeds since I consumed way too much memes on like some meme rating feed site I don't even remember the name of, before feeds was a thing. So maybe people might just cut down on it by them self?
- MichaelZuo 2y agoIs that a question for me, or for yourself?
- rightbyte 2y agoIt is an open question.
- joquarky 2y agoWhat happens when nearly everyone is suddenly addicted to something? I remember much talk of "internet addiction" in the late 1990s, but rarely hear much of it anymore
- rightbyte 2y agoI guess thise articles dissappeared when those people did not rack up huge telephone bills. You'd have to have some non abstract damage to write simple articles. Otherwise the journalist need to do a deep dive in the victim's life to explain the damage.
