        Agreed. While I don’t think tech is horrible in every way, I do believe people are over reliant on their phones when they really shouldn’t be. This is coming from someone who hides their screen time report to avoid shame, so I’m not guiltless in this either.

        We are more connected to farther away things while becoming more and more isolated from the things near us. I know people more passionate and informed over issues in a different country than their own local city’s.

        When books started being mass-produced and publicly available, there was push back against those. Readers were portrayed as detached from reality, academic snobs, losers. Even today, there are significant political pushes to ban books and defund libraries.

        Television, telephones, railroads, electricity, the printing press. There always have been (and probably always will be) people afraid of change who blame new technologies for the evils they see in society.
