The Merge
"Our phones control us and tell us what to do when; social media feeds determine how we feel; search engines decide what we think."Ok, let's see. I check my Android phone perhaps 5 times a day. It's in silent mode all the time and has a broken screen since 2.5 years and I don't care. I have perhaps 10 apps installed of which I use maybe 5 on a semi-regular basis. I check Facebook / LinkedIn perhaps 1 time a day and when I do I'm always slightly annoyed by the amount of useless crap in my feed. I don't use or need Snapchat or Insta or Twitter or any other social media. I doubt I even need Facebook. I do use Google, a lot, but mostly as a gateway to Stackoverflow or to satisfy my curiosity about something I've read somewhere else on the internet. I doubt it has any influence on what I think.Am I really such an outlier?
