Stumbled upon this essay on Substack, read it and felt like crying.
Will make you want to delete all apps. Throw away your phone. Quit your job in tech. Touch grass. Move to Paris.

This made me so sad and sick

Same! I am now frantically trying to figure out what to do with my life

Thank you for sharing. I am old enough (56) to remember what life was like before phones and it really was so much better. Sending this article to my daughter who is 22 in the hopes that it will make an impression on her.

I hope it will! It’s even harder the younger generation who don’t have the personal memories

A stealth horror story. I’m going to be thinking about this for awhile.

“An excellent read, and a great reminder to seriously cut down screen time. I truly feel like I lost a part of myself around 2013 due to social media taking over.”
