For a year or so, tech employees have been expressing remorse for being paid to deliberately create software that affects our dopamine levels and other neurotransmitters. 2017 CBS 60 Minutes segment, “Brain Hacking” provides testimony. Other articles and TV segments have followed. The most compelling statement seems to be from Nest Founder, Tony Faddell.
“I Wake Up In Cold Sweats Thinking, What Did We Bring To The World?”
Holy crap.
As we are all already aware, for the last 2 decades, technology has been marketed to children and public school systems. Regardless, this whole time, tech inventors have been limiting their own kids’ use of it and sending them to private low-tech schools.
It’s not going to be easy to turn this around for everyone else’s children especially with tech companies still marketing products to kids and public schools.
On a side note, no “safe” level of cell phone or wireless (WiFi) radiation has yet to be scientifically determined for children or pregnant women. And manuals for cell phones and other wireless devices include warnings regarding RF exposure. Many are also trying to have WiFi replaced with wired Internet in schools for these reasons.
These devices are also known to sometimes catch fire and explode. Ay carumba.
2017 article, “The Rich Get Smart, The Poor Get Technology: The New Digital Divide in School Choice” provides research indicating that increased use of computers in the classroom and for homework has led to a decline in education levels. It also seems to be contributing to kids becoming addicted to technology or “Screenagers.”
On February 9, 2018 Dr. Oz featured a segment on his show called “The Rise of 5G Cell Towers.” His introduction includes a description of why U.S. elected officials and telecom companies are promoting this “Race for 5G.” Elected officials are actually writing and passing new state and federal laws so that millions of 4G and 5G small cell towers can be installed everywhere including in front of homes. This is so we can “binge-watch, surf, and post” at faster speeds without our screens freezing up or being disconnected. Hooray?!
