I’ve realized as I’ve experimented with reducing my internet/phone time that the problem isn’t the phones or the internet at all. The problem is that you can watch YouTube on your TV, scroll TikTok/Reels on your phone, pour through Reddit threads on your laptop, etc. It feels exhausting now because the internet used to be confined to a desktop, but now it’s inescapable and almost required to function in the world we live in now.
