Comment on Will we be addicted to our phones forever? An optimistic outlookparent

Comments

I recently subscribed to a newspaper as in printed on paper and delivered to my mailbox once a week. It's pretty interesting experience. Main thing about it is it's finitness. There is only so much information in the weekly issue. It's deliberately slow. It's local and it's more than 140 symbols too.

Finite feeds are something I really miss. I can never finish reading modern social media, more content is always loaded for me.

There is so much obvious stuff to do when not refreshing the feed:

- playing video games;

- reading a book;

- going for a walk;

- preparing food;

- looking out of the window;

- calling people on the phone;

- doing drugs;

Literally anything is better than the default option of mindlessly taking the the thing out of the pocket and diving into entropy.
