I used to have this same opinion, but I realized I was wrong. It's arguably sad that we're in this current moment, but anyway we are — so these problems caused by too much tech (if they really are caused by that) are nevertheless, real problems, so...

...tech help solving them is welcome!

I'm not convinced we are solving them, this looks more like an addict caught in a loop where the only solution they see is more of the same.

Like eating a vegetables and proteins is just more of the same fats and sugars?

I live a long distance from my parents and siblings - technology helps me retain some closeness with them that would not otherwise be possible.

I live close to my children. Technology could be a barrier to closeness with them.

^^Eh, I'll say while I'm worse now at keeping track, I've moved across 9 countries and many cities -- it's hard to remember to stay in touch.

Also esp when friends use snapchat/instagram/discord/signal/whatsapp/imessage/sms and that one weirdo that only has an email. I barely open my socials, but it doesn't mean I don't value those friendships.
