Excellent article. Having not grown up with technology, I couldn’t fully picture what scientists were warning us about - the rewiring of our brains. What it looked and felt like. This author really allowed a visceral feel into his addiction. The inability to be quiet, to read, to watch a movie or have a long conversation - I’m sorry, that’s cause for SERIOUS concern, in my opinion. Thank God for specialists like Catherine Price who can help those who seek to unplug from the virtual and experience the Natural.
Facebook infiltrated my life in high school. Smartphones in college. It's very clear to me - now that I've cut them out of my life - what they did to my brain. My senses were less sharp. My emotions more shallow. And creative capabilities much lower. I'm finally writing! More people, more steps. Let's do this.

Bill, this if for you. I think this guy sums up our addiction really well. He's the Marie Kondo for the brain.
I need to get in touch with Kevin Roose. I'm sure he'll get a kick out of Readup.
