On one hand my phone is my bestest friend who protects me and shows me so many beautiful wonders. On the other hand I wanna throw this fucking lump of metal into the sun before it can erode my brain any more than it already has. Do you understand.

#i love you immediate access to all the information and learning I could ask for #i love you being able to listen to music or stories to brighten up dull tasks #i love you being able to befriend amd communicate with people all over the world #i love you keeping in touch with people who I otherwise would have drifted away from #i love you independent creators being able to create and distribute their creations without needing money or connections #i hate you centralization of the internet under fewer and fewer multinational megacorps #i hate you platforms designed to keep me addicted and scrolling so they can show me more ads #i hate you shortened attention span #i hate you echochambers that allow extremist beliefs to fester and spread like never before #i hate you Internet Panopticon #i hate you expectation that I always need to be available for communication 24 hours a day #more than anything I hate the fact that I'm made to feel guilty for being addicted to my phone #when I was given this highly addictive thing as a Literal Child #and also you pretty much Can't Not have a phone as a young working person in the 21st century #I'm gonna claw my hair out please help
