I’ve just been reading about how in the future, AI will allow us to speak with animals, and people will be able to communicate telepathically and live in their own VR worlds. (etc., etc.)

Man, this isn’t a world I want to live in. I’m so tired of the constant paradigm shifting that you have to put your brain through with each innovation. I wish technology just stayed frozen in the 1980s – there would be so much less uncertainty in my life and I could just focus on being a human.

Innovation keeps being forced on you and I just feel tired. >!And I’m only just in my 20s!< Is this ok? Is this valid? When resisting it is a loser’s game…

      Who are you to dictate who needs what? I definitely “need” a smart fridge from my example because I always forget to make a list before I go to the grocery store. It would save me so much time and money.

      You honestly sound like the old fucks of ancient times past who always removeded about new “tech”:

      • Damn smartphones, ruining society
      • Damn internet, ruining society
      • Damn personal computers, ruining society
      • Damn video games, ruining society
      • Damn television, ruining society
      • Damn comic books, ruining society
      • Damn rock and roll music, ruining society
      • Damn jazz music, ruining society
      • Damn movies, ruining society
      • Damn automobiles, ruining society
      • Damn telephones, ruining society
      • Damn electricity, ruining society
      • Damn novels, ruining society
      • Damn newspapers, ruining society
      • Damn printing press, ruining society
      • Damn written language, ruining society
      • Damn iron tools, ruining society
      • Damn bronze weapons, ruining society
      • Damn agriculture, ruining society
      • Damn fire, ruining society

      Nothing is stopping you from running away into the mountains to life a tech free life

        I do, and that’s what concerns me. Because I’m only in my 20s. I could disconnect for a while, but I’m always going to have to return to society, whose constant changing caused this fatigue, eventually.
