By this I mean phones, laptops, etc. Not things like washing machines or fridges or whatever.
Anyway, I just feel like we’re being advertised to 24/7. Before the pandemic I went to the city near
me and was shocked to see that was used to be a beautiful was now a giant screen playing go compare adverts! It seems like there’s some sort of subversive advertising everywhere.
I also don’t like the whole siri/alexa/google home thing. I’m not a conspiracy theorist but there’s constant stuff on the TV and in the news about how they store what’s said, how they’re constantly listening, etc. Concerning when you consider how easily many cameras are hacked into.
Lastly I think it’s scary to see how many people think technology is only good (for children in particular) when there’s proof it really isn’t. Of course it can be useful but at the end of the day it isn’t healthy, especially not for children, for anything but short periods of time.
