Evgeny Morozov vs. The Internet

I agree with a lot of your sentiments, but I also consider a lot of these side effects to be temporary. Humans first burned themselves before they ever learned to use fire more productively.

I think many of these problems are just a phase. The novelty will wear off and people will eventually adapt to use tech in more moderate, less obtrusive and more helpful ways.

I mean, like everything else there’ll always be downsides, but we’ll learn to overcome many of them as we evolve to work through them. But, yes, in the meantime some of this is going to suck.
