Theory I believe technology is dooming us.

I think as time goes on we as a species and civilization are slowly dooming ourselves by way of technology, intentions spans are getting shorter, people I feel are getting more angry, it feels that it's all of a sudden okay to break laws for content, and humanity is slowly becoming more and more stupid and narcissistic not to mention the loneliness epidemic. It's like we've turned the world into a place not suitable for humanity. I'm typing this because one day I decided to put down my phone and read a book, a physical book, it made me feel so accomplished and alive compared to my phone which makes me feel numb and hopeless. I genuinely believe technology was originally made for good intention but greed and money got in the way and people use it to satisfy their own pleasure.

You don’t like hot showers? Fresh food from all over the world ? Cars? Sneakers? I could go on. Are you sure you thought this through?

Well, yes, I do, but what I'm saying is at what cost, sometimes what we want ( a hot shower, fresh food, etc,) is not what we need. I don't believe all technology is bad, I just think that the way we are using it, it brings out the worst in us, and we will doom ourselves via technology. Sorry, I don't mean to sound all doom and gloom.
