Listen, we agree about the effect. But not everyone is drawn in -- I have spent my business life in tech, I carry an iPhone, but trust me, I'm not drawn in.
It's mostly the young people who are getting their brains turned into mush. Not all, but mostly.
Something good has already happened with this tech. I think it is great if a person has some degree of self-control and can use it productively. After all, maybe it's self-control that's the issue -- not the phone. Look at all the obese in our society. Is it the food or the person?
I think there can be a common sense practical compromise. But that is not how we do things. It is all or nothing, from one extreme to the opposite extreme, never any middle ground practical compromise. And we never use it for common good, we always use it for reasons of greed.
The one thing that tech will never change is human nature...
