Spent a morning out on the town on my day off, and everyone is just fucking buried in their phones 24/7. This realization was so absurd to me
Of course I’m not exempt from this shit, but no wonder people are having so much trouble making friends and creating meaningful relationships in this day and age. So fucking bleak
TV had some massive problems too. The primary difference was that the programming (yes, it was called programming pretty much from the start) wasn't individually targeted because the technology wasn't there yet to do that, so there were still gaps and windows for people watching it to do something else rather than get more deeply sucked in.
