Hi Robert, thank you for your observations. I agree that simply exiting the digital landscape will not abate this terrifying trend; just as a handful of hippies living outside of the corporate-capitalist paradigm would not overturn the system.
On a personal level, individuals need to find a balance with technology that works for them, but, like most of our problems today, any effective solution would need to be collective,
For now, at least, a growing awareness of this issue may suffice to mobilize people in the right direction.
