The progression of 2010s digital technology is so depressing. Our lives were so incredibly different 15 years ago. If my life flashes before my eyes, I’ll just see my phone screen, my computer (which I am required to be looking at for 8 hours at work), followed by the tv, over and over (I have outdoor hobbies too but I definitely spend more hours looking at screens than anything else). This is basically the exact same for everyone I know. And people are literally slaving away in other parts of the world so we can live these lazy, meaningless lives while profiting off their labor.
We are so disconnected in so many ways and I feel so hopeless about it right now. Like I can change how I live but the second I leave my apartment I am subject to everyone else’s digital choices (even at most restaurants they make you watch tv).
I just want to escape it all somehow.
I’m sorry if this post isn’t contributing new content or ideas. I just needed to get it out.
