What the Overuse of electronic Devices is doing to us

avatar

I admit it, I have a problem. I tell myself I use computers to much to participate in the cryptocurrency revolution, Dapp ecosystems and general blogging to make money for myself and my family. I am addicted to internet-connected devices and services, and I'm going to take steps to help myself and others overcome this.

I was a late adopter of smartphones, and bought my first iPhone in 2016. I got a discount at the Verizon store, and fell in love with the technology. I used the phone to trade stocks mostly and view YouTube.

Over the past 4-years, I have been deeply involved in the cryptocurrency market, blogging and the Dapp ecosystem. I have used the internet to build community, make money and enjoy life.

I am taking steps to reclaim my life from the electronic menace that is internet-overuse. I realize that we as a society are over reliant on technology, and it's hurting our ability to build real relationships. This is a problem.

My son, who is only one year old has been very interested in electronic devices, and it scares me. I am keeping the phone away from him, and putting my phone in a drawer when I get home so he doesn't become addicted. Take steps to keep yourself from becomming a tech zombie.
