    So true. I got bored of nothing new, so I got rid of social media accounts and meaningless apps.

    Halfway through the video. Technology can also lead to some positive actions. Without one of those searches, I never would have discovering the mind body wellness and natural pain relief of Qi Gong meditation, which also was inspirational in learning Mandarin and Vietnamese. There are some wonderful teachers using the KZread platform. It really requires users to examine their intentions, as stated at the beginning.

    I was in line yesterday at the pharmacy The lady behind me said "This line isn't moving!" I just wanted to say to her "Do you mean the people in front and behind one another are not moving quickly enough for you?" Making clear that the impatience of the world is a huge issue now, probably because people are hooked on watching 15-second clips one after another. With no repreve. While I was paying attention to my breathing and feeling very light and free, i couldn't help but notice that every single person (there was 7 people) in front and behind me, was all on there cell phones, probably watching ticktok videos. The average age was about 45. And I could just feel this air of anxiety and fear all around me. No smiles on faces, only pursed lips and squinted eyes. It seems as if people can not live with themselves for even a second. The pain that it causes by being attached to their phones is written all over their faces, and the words they use are as if their tongue was a sharp and twisted sword. It makes me so sad. ESPECIALLY SEEING VERY YOUNG CHILDREN THIS WAY And I could see this sickness progressing over the years, first it would be only a couple people on there phone, and usually a young person, and then the numbers slowly started adding up, until what we have today is almost 100% of the population completely and mindlessly glued onto there phone, almost worshiping there phone like a diety. In an anime called Naruto Shippuden, there is a man named Madara Uchiha, whom takes over the entire planet by raising the moon into a dark red colored orb which turns all of humanity under the mind control of Madara. So they essentially are mindless slaves who are to become his pawns in a giant game of war, for him to take over the earth and have complete power. (The effect of this happening in the show is called Infinite Tsukuyomi) It's frightening to see the resemblances of how people are hooked onto technology as if they are being sucked into this infinite tsukuyomi. And there seems to be no reverse of this, at least for the time being. So, to conclude this rant... I just was hoping to shine some light onto this issue and see if we can all come up with a strategy to help break the strangle hold that technology has on humanity right now. If there was a way to bring an awareness to people in a kind way, I would like to be able to implement that. Perhaps not having the fear to speak to people about it in public, for myself, is a step I would like to try and take. Because we are in a desperate state right now. We are all ignoring what is really going on, to our species, to mother earth. We are killing one another And we are killing our spirits By getting fully absorbed into technologies. 🙏

    Look at the people who are creating and programming "modern" technology, write the algorithms and input codes. The tech is doing what it was meant to do.
