Unfortunately, I see no mention of a closed related issue that nobody ever seems to discuss or even question: the Internet has turned most people into 24-hours-per-day shoppers. Who decided that we should want to live this way and just accept it unquestioningly?
Being at home used to mean being able to shut off browsing, buying, and consuming and to shut out the people and companies that want us to think about purchasing this or that.
I've stopped doing this. I now avoid every part of the Internet and every electronic practice that subjects me to this awful facet of our culture. My life has improved, and I'm certain my brain has benefited.
