Brain Rot

[LightAngel]

Oh yeah paper books are wonderful. Going camping, sitting outside all day with a book. In the fresh air. With the sky. Keep the dementia at bay. Sounds like a plan.

 


Just like me, I guess you also grew up in a time before mobile phones.

There was space to breathe, to wander, to disappear for a while without anyone tracking our steps.

It felt healthy and good, not because everything was perfect, but because our nervous systems weren't being pulled in a hundred directions.

There was a kind of innocence in simply being where you were. 

And the thing is, we can still choose some of that now (I do).

We can put the phone down.

We can use it less.

When we use technology with intention, it becomes a tool again.

When we let it pull us without noticing, it becomes a master.

We should control technology, it shouldn't control us!
