Posts on this specific topic should raise our curiosity in more active ways than just the technologists vs luddites talking points it usually devolves into. First, we should admit that we dont actually know what the effects of this technology is on our minds and how it shapes the way we perceive. There are niche fields of academia such as Media studies, specifically, Media ecology, that study these subjects. That being said, we should experiment, find out, by taking a break from your device(s) of choice for some set amount of time, and observe how your mind reacts. This will be varying degrees of absurd based on your location. If you work in tech and live in sfba for example, its likely not even conceivable let alone feasible. The takeaway, for both people who agree with the OPs insight or for those who think the point is overblown or out of context, being that it is our own responsibility to understand the effects of our environment.
