This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

You don't hate smartphones; you hate capitalism.

a lot of the issues listed are related to the impact of technology on our lives. not on the system that controls the means of the technology's production. unless you're trying to say that smartphones are only possible under a capitalist society?? but im assuming you're not saying something that ridiculous. or are you one of those freaks that thinks communism will solve all existential woes, even aging and mortality lol i hope not. because life is gonna have shit in it no matter what and being pampered to death is absolutely a thing. that's essentially the smart phone problem. thousands of potential dating partners a swipe away, hundreds of memes and videos constantly being uploaded to the brain, yeah it's going to impact you. this is bigger than economics.
