buring cds and collecting dvds has been something i revently started doing and it's been amazing. i recently got a small crt tv for my room and i use ti to watch movies/shows and play wii games. i also rent a lot of dvds from my university library and im getting a library card so i can get cds from the city libraries. |

I think older Gen. Zers recognize this too. We saw the horrifying effects of constant internet exposure first hand, because most our parents didn't know what a simple iPod Touch could expose their children to. Now all the kids I knew who were constantly online, barely update their socials anymore. It felt like the internet and technology was better when it was still small, decentralized, and didn't follow us around. For the most part I'm doing the same thing as you. I've cut out Google and Meta from my phone, and keep my music offline. For the most part I refuse to purchase games that include DRM or don't have a physical release. And I've definitely cut back on my scrolling thanks to site like SpaceHey and FriendRewind. However, I would say the internet doesn't have to be evil. I think a good balance is in order, but it's really sad that society isn't really pushing that. It would be so easy to teach kids what to avoid online when they are older, teach parents the dangers of unmonitored internet access, and create social media platforms, operating systems, and video game consoles that aren't downright predatory. It almost feels like we need some kind of Amish-adjacent movement of folks who are religiously convince we should stick to the 1990s. |
