People are downvoting you, but this rung true with me. Sure, technology is created by humans, but a lot of the reason I see people (kids included) "overusing" technology is social media.
Social media does not care for human values. It cares for growth/self-preservation, views/interactions, and revenue. This is fine for things like TV, which tend to be more opt-in, but when you're carrying around a device all-the-motherfucking-time that's constantly pulling your attention away from real experiences and real people to suck you into an addictive cycle of meaningless interactions, I would say that's dangerous territory. Not because it's doing harm per se, but because it steals attention from things in life that bring us real meaning.
