I’ve just been reading about how in the future, AI will allow us to speak with animals, and people will be able to communicate telepathically and live in their own VR worlds. (etc., etc.)

Man, this isn’t a world I want to live in. I’m so tired of the constant paradigm shifting that you have to put your brain through with each innovation. I wish technology just stayed frozen in the 1980s – there would be so much less uncertainty in my life and I could just focus on being a human.

Innovation keeps being forced on you and I just feel tired. >!And I’m only just in my 20s!< Is this ok? Is this valid? When resisting it is a loser’s game…

    Stop doomscrolling.

    For what you are writing, you are just getting angry at things you read not at things you live.

    Revise which sources are you reading. If they made you unhappy, it is worth keep reading them? Most of those things won’t happen anyway or if happen you could easily avoid. I don’t feel the need to have an “smartwatch” so I just don’t have one, for instance.

    Find some sources that make you happy, and you’ll find an improvement. Some people seems to only write things with the goal of making you feel miserable.

    I’m just happy following my tech news about open source development and space exploration.

      I agree with this. It sounds like OP is more bothered by “having this tech forced” on him than anything, but tech is inert, it is people that would make him feel like that.
