Ahhh yes, the old "reading on paper is big brain individual, reading on phone is mindless."

Same with "communicating over the internet isn't real communication."

I'm not saying that there aren't problems with how much we're communicating over the internet and how little we're communicating in real life, but the vast majority of humans in history would have considered the ability to send text messages to someone on the other side of the world in less than a second to be reserved for the gods above.

For real! This is like saying "telegrams are destroying our youth" back in the day.

Sure, real human interaction has value, but the ability to text someone on the other side of the planet instantly and have it translated is a huge leap forward not brain rot.

"Those cuneiform clay tablets are dragging our youths from proper honest upbringing" - old people, c.a. 3400 BCE

Interesting takeaway.

In my opinion this piece is a critique of how humans are stuck working even while commuting, while at the same time we have robots learning how to read, write, and draw.

Seems to be the relationship has flipped, wouldnt you say?
