This is such an interesting story, and very much in line with DFW's writing in IJ.

I think this reality is something many folks are still in denial about. Like, how many times do you see an add depicting some translucent person's distorted cervical spine, referencing 'devices' in all their various forms as the cause. The entertainment / devices we use every day are literally causing morphological changes in our bodies. That's so dark, and I think loads of people simply choose not to think about it. Is ignorance bliss? Maybe for those hypnotized by the various 'entertainments' in their lives. But for people like yourself, who actually witness it, I'd say Infinite Jest is a useful, cautionary tale.

I see people hunched over the phone all day. I use mine too often but I take time out as well. They aren't even enjoying what they are experiencing judging by the constant swiping etc.

Then there is the narcissism. I witnessed a beautiful sunset from the bus over green fields last week and I presumed a woman was filming it... Then I realised she was photographing herself. Oh dear.
