I am 30 so I have seen the change in technology and how it is affecting my generation and the newer generation - I think technology is a great thing it is our relationship with it and how we use it that needs to change. I often see people out for 'social' gatherings and they are all on their phones!

I like to have rules around my device use such as no devices while eating -
we usually put them in a seperate room, and also no phones in the bedroom. It is easy to let our phones and devices control our lives. I also agree that centralised social media is just using us for data mining and to sell our data (I listen to a great podcast called 'Note to self' which talks about this alot.

One of my first posts on Steem was actually about how I had a week device free and what I learnt:
