I've made a choice in my life to not get too wrapped up in tech. I mostly don't use social media. I don't game or use VR. I try to stay in the real world as much as possible. I'm not crazy about it, but I still use many Google services.

I've just discovered over time that I'm less happy with more tech in my life.

I love technology though. Uber is life changing. Google Translate makes traveling a lot easier. Amazon is super convenient. Are these things making the world worse? Probably, but they're not wrecking my mental health.

Feel free to criticize me. I've probably said several hypocritical things in this post. I'm mainly selfishly focused on how tech impacts my mental well-being.
