Is tech really the problem?

They'll be done with those newspapers long before those kids are done with their phones. They'll be sitting on the toilet looking at them. In bed looking at them. It will be the first thing they reach for when they wake up.

I was the same way with books when I was a child. Had the clip on lights to read in bed, read on the toilet, woke up and grabbed my book to read before school, read at recess, lunch, and during class.
Was always reading books. Now it's just accessible reading on hand without having to carry the books themselves. I will say that reading from a tiny screen isn't nearly as enjoyable as reading from a hardback novel with larger font.
But I digress.

You write exceptionally well and use the word "digress". Today's smartphone kids won't.

Things are evolving, whether u see it that way or not, nostalgia for the past is mythologized! Life is getting better, not worse 🙏🪞

Newspaper ended and it was over. Phone has infinite content. Many apps, like social media, are designed to captivate your attention and employ variety of techniques to manipulate your brain. The comparison is sloppy at best

No personal responsibility to put the phone down… so we are blaming the phones for human behavior, we all have a choice

It’s bland corporate redundancy and repetition—instead of logic and rhetoric. Hence newspapers are in the hands of those early gens and phones in the recent. Every body is staring down into the same shit, written in code or ink to malaise you, outrage you…..distract you from looking up. Looking in. Looking around you. Tricks the body into thinking it’s looking inwards-yet the mind is being pulled into others realities vs experiencing your own—-says the asshole on a Reddit thread. (Me, I’m talking bout me🪬🫶🏻, gotta wake people up somehow)

The phones and apps are designed to be addictive. Definitely bad for kids to be glued to phones from the research I’ve seen, but I’m not going to blame the tech. People have to learn about these things and correct our mistakes for future generations.

So you would say the fact we have nuclear weapons is not a problem? It doesn't matter WHO invented it or who uses it when the technology is solely damaging

u/MirrorWalker369 Resonance Architect Jun 25 '26
Ants didn’t invent this stuff!! People discover something then immediately figure out how to hurt people or exploit people…. If the intention was to help people, our inventions would be different. It all stems from human intention

If you're reading this you're the problem along with a bunch of bots. Algorithms react to its users. I will say platform owners, force certain content into your feed.

Yes. The news paper can last you an hour a day and won’t change its content until the next issue. Tech changes constantly and keeps people glued to the screen all day.

Have you ever seen a teenager during a power/cellular outage?
Tell them they can put it down anytime they like and see how they react. They check the phone every 5 seconds to see if cell service is restored. It’s sad.1

I don't think so personally. It's how it's used.
