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.
I have no connection to any of those except phone bad book good. That’s just observable fact.
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.
A lot of social media is addictive. And it has probably gotten worse over time, since the companies that make social media want to make it as addictive as possible.
There’s that one coworker of mine with the “sigma grindset” he always complains how kids these days spent so much time on social media.
He’s the only one in my friend group who uses corporate social media and spends his lunchbreak on his phone…
At this point I seriosly don’t know if he’s even serios (he always seems like it), or just doesn’t realize what he’s doing
He has to reach out to them where they are, so he’s gotta hunt them down online to teach them the error of their ways.
What is an “index card rpg?” Sounds fun
Usually a game where everything you need to play fits on an index card.
Check out Honey Heist for a good example
G.U.R.P.S. and T.W.E.R.P.S. are the two that I’m pretty sure are still around since the 90s
Yea…well we live in this dark times…but I think still there is something related with ourself as human begin and tech have just trigger this something inside.
Yeah, people were always horrible, technology just allows them to live their worst life, this story, if real, is a perfect example.
I think my problem has been wanting to multitask while working or eating, etc. And the easiest thing is to browse my phone for something to read or watch, even if on mute, but that doesn’t happen while playing board games, for some reason.
This shit happened to me after Hurricane Ivan (2004), nothing new here.
Had just moved here and lived in a house with 4 other guys. 3 of them stayed, or came back, after the storm. We spent 3 wonderful days bullshitting on the porch and otherwise fucking around. My gf came over and we laid on the roof and marveled at the sudden appearance of stars.
The second the power came on those dudes scattered like cockroaches, everyone straight back to their room.
I’ll have you know that I haven’t looked at a phone in … -closes eyes- tenvdrgonre.I
