I gave private math lessons for more than two decades.

I can't speak about self harm, but them kids got in couple of years around a decade ago insanely unable to focus. They were consistently distracted.

Adults who use lots of internet in general (regardless of socials) are the same. Applies to my girlfriend (she changed a lot since she started working behind a computer) and I have to admit to myself (which is why I block most of the internet during working hours).

It's insane how your brain gets rewired by doomscrolling into essentially dopamine seeking.

Sadly internet is an inseparable part of modern IT slave.

Sometimes I wish there is a special prison that admits people who wants to achieve something but are too distracted to do so. It doesn't have Internet, nor does it have smart devices. It doesn't allow them out until they achieve the objectives. I'd be happy to buy its service.

its kind of unbelievable to call someone who works in an office setting a modern slave, of any sort.

Would a pair of double quotes make it better? It's more or less just a metaphor.

It's an exceptionally terrible one.

What about "IT proletariat"?
