I went to an anti-tech rally, where Gen Z dressed as gnomes and smashed iPhones. Here's what I learned. | Business Insider (www.businessinsider.com)

Society has to decide as a group how much we will allow people to harm themselves with various addictions. Noone lives alone in this world so why act like it?

I am completely against addictions, including those like algorithmic social media. I am also against people who dont understand tech blaming it instead of blaming the real problem. If we just took a second to understand it we would understand how to use it responsibly.

You could make the same argument about heroin, cocaine, marijuana, pornography, alcohol, video games, etc.

If youll notice, we as a society agree to different levels of restrictions based on the potential harm. Many new technologies cause harm but we find out after the technology is in use, so we need to constantly review and revise things.

Thats a good reason why alcohol is increasingly restricted whole marijuana is decreasingly restricted. New information is available that suggests we adjust our risk assessment.

Which technology are you implying is safer than most people think?

I've spent many hours on this and I still do not understand the real problem. What's the real problem?

How do you use these devices responsibly?
