I shouldn’t have been negative with you on my prior response. The more folks we have pointing out the dangers, the more likely it is society may wake up to what is going on. The tech billionaires are INTENTIONALLY doing this to us, just like cigarettes. They INTENTIONALLY make this technology addictive, because they make their money by capturing our attention and then they spy on us for our personal data.
I personally think the only real answer is going cold turkey and completely cutting the internet off in your life, but we are unbelievably dependent on the digital world now. And it would mean a lot of things, like not being able to access Free Republic just as one example.
Thanks. No, I expect there is a ton out there.
When I wrote “A Patriot’s History of the United States,” there were a good 20 college US History textbooks-—but none put things together the way I did with Mike Allen. It’s a gift. I think I can bring that same historical scope, synthesis, and common sense language to this topic that maybe others don’t have.
No, no one can cut off the internet completely. But I hope by the end of the book to make suggestions-—doable, practical suggestions, as to how we can (especially as parents) better discipline our kids to USE the tech rather than letting the tech enslave them.
