I hate screens, constant connectivity, but could not live in today's world without them.
So much of the world is fixated on our addictive devices and trying to find ways to live without them are difficult, even damaging in some ways.
I really do miss those days I could leave the house with just keys and wallet, and had the world around me to provide my entertainment. Today, I am constantly pulling out my phone at the first inkling of boredom.
Finding balance is crucial for all aspects in life, our devices are the same, and developing enough discipline to shed our serotonin inducing toys for a few hours a day is a challenge we will all have to face. Otherwise we will be hollow and hunched over glowing screens for the rest of our lives.
