Technology addiction quotes

  • Internet addiction is real. Millions of people suffer from it. And when they’re prevented from going online, they experience withdrawal symptoms that are like those suffered by drug addicts. ~ Damon Zahariades

  • Technology is degeneration of native intelligence and promotion of Artificial Intelligence. In short - Destruction! ~ PB Flower
  • Smartwatches don't make you productive, they only make you a lifeless humanoid. Fitness trackers don't make you fit, they only make you paranoid. ~ Abhijit Naskar,
  • The addict is the one with low self-awareness and low self-understanding. ~ Maxime Lagacé
  • Scrolling is the new smoking. ~ Joshua Fields Millburn
  • The better (smarter) the tech, the harder we’re hooked. ~ David Foster Wallace


INSPIRED HAIKU

Smart tech addiction -

impulse control disorder -

Mind's profound sickness


Be not a tech slave

That is total mental ruin -

Total mindless state!


From early childhood

Emphasize spiritual growth -

Mind-and-soulfullness


Match spiritual wit

To fast upcoming tech-world

or you'll be doomed soon


be guided by soul

brace divine virtue of love

for its qon sake, worth


spiritualize life

combine learning, life and love

to shun tech dope trap
