I think it’s best to be in between. Use the stuff in such a way that it doesn’t break.
Don’t be too damn into it, that you can’t use anything. But also don’t just not care about anything and go on…
the internet and it’s tools shouldn’t be the centerpoint of our private lives. use it when you want/have to or just feel like it, but don’t let it dictate your personal habits and relationships. if you want to fuck over big tech and the all-seeing eye of the glowies, just stop feeding them instead just trying to avoid them.
Yeah, I was already in my thirties when the internet was opened up to the general public, and to me there was a kind of sweet spot around 2000 where the internet had begun to be really useful to ordinary people, but people didn’t spend all their time online. I guess the introduction of smartphones is what made the difference.
