Technology is great, I use it for practically everything. But if I spend too much time glued to a screen, I start to feel hollow. After a while all the information becomes a blur and I get overloaded.

I deleted my facebook awhile back because all the content was meaningless, and I logged on too often to just waste time. On hubski at least I read some informative articles, and twitter I get updates from bands, record labels, and news sources. I try to limit myself to sites that are informative and a good use of my time.

I also refuse to get a smartphone. I spend too much time online as it is, I know myself and if I got a smartphone I would be glued to it 24/7. I like just walking around and observing the scenery. Observing interesting people, listening to snippets of conversation, smelling smells etc. I get more out of that, in terms of relaxation and refreshment, then I would glued to a screen.

I think technology is amazing, and I hope it keeps evolving. But I also hope people are able and willing to recognize it's limitations and the harmful effects it can have on us. I believe, however, that people who are able to do this will be few and far between. I'm pessimistic I know, but I think society will get sucked farther and farther down that rabbit hole, to what end I don't know.
