Hand held terminals giving you an addiction on par with heroin, the ability to instantly pinpoint your location on a map and get directions to anywhere your gig economy job makes you go, logistic chains so perfectioned you can't buy graphic cards cheaply because people from the other side of the world who mine bitcoin out bid you, dependence on biochemistry to difficult to grasp for the majority, planes that are to complex to be checked by third parties so one needs to just trust the manufaturer, machines approaching a human level of deception, meat grown in a lab without hurting animals is not possible/affordable at scale.

On par with heroin!

I don’t vomit when i forget to charge my phone.

You almost (maybe) had a point. Wait til you find out what happened to the titanic
Wait til you google Hindenburg.
I find it very strange you can talk about smartphones giving you an addiction, while complaining about expensive graphics cards
