Tech addiction is tough. When people don't like their environment they try to escape it and unfortunately the black mirror is there waiting for them. It's not productive but it provides comfort.

Honestly. Been doing brief 1 hour no tech time at home now and it's crazy how many times my girlfriend and I will do something, finish a conversation, etc, and then just go "well fuck" because we both sat at a computer or in a phone usage spot out of habit.
