  1. The irony of posting this on the Fediverse is not lost on me. 😉

    I usually like to take a few weeks off a each year at least. But, a less distracting internet (and cell phone) would be a good thing.

    It's a shame our monkey brains won't buy it, and make it a viable option, when we have all that temptation.

  3. "Seeing the internet as a fairyland — an otherworld with its own logic — isn’t about mystifying technology. It’s about seeing it sharply, as the strange and powerful environment it really is. In this way, enchantment restores what habit has made invisible.

    The internet is a place crowded with uncanny entities and enchantments. Sometimes these enchantments reach back into our physical world. If we hope to travel wisely, the old instructions still apply: mark the threshold, remember that time moves differently there and know that every gift from the otherworld carries a price.

    Above all, keep part of yourself rooted in the real world — grounded, embodied and tethered to other people. We’ve seen what happens when someone wanders too far. Think of all the lost boys who have disappeared into their rooms, only to return as something unrecognizable, like a modern changeling. Or the many adults who have fallen victim to conspiratorial thinking, caught the way wanderers once followed will-o’-the-wisps into the marsh, seduced by lights that were always illusory."

  8. Re-stating some comments about this story:

    futurism.com/artificial-intell

    "Give this man a trillion dollars and control of the planet... and what could possibly go wrong?"

    In past times, I'd be fascinated by both the #AI & #InternetAddiction aspects.

    But this gets to #cyberpsychology, our relationship (or not) to humans vs #technology

    And now there's this #TrumpVIrus variant running wild in #Muskville. And Stable Genius Jr is in love.

    (Well, fewer mouths to feed, I guess. He's so smart!)

  28. In the 90's we used the teletext as a tool to reduce the withdrawal symptoms from our internet addiction when the phone line was busy.
