My predicition for the future is this: there will be a backlash of EPIC PROPORTIONS. All this "technology" comes down to some fairly simple addicition issues. As in: my phone! I cannot live without my phone!! Or doom-scrolling Insta and TikTok until my eye doctor needs to see me ASAP....
Then, one day,
en masse, an entire generation goes ENOUGH. They put their phones down, get flip phones and land lines. Instead of texting they say "Call me!" Instead of emailing or live streaming or chit chatting or whatever the fuck, they go, "Let's meetup at 7 at Mary's house".
This entire tech economy is based on attention and focus. When that goes away all of this goes away. Wait for it, it's a-comin'.
