I think smart people should learn how to be the masters of technology, and truly make technology products a tool for a happy life, rather than being induced and manipulated by it. When the mobile phone is used for communication, payment, taxi, work, etc., it is undoubtedly a very convenient and efficient tool. We are also undoubtedly the users or masters of the tools, because we have complete control to put down the phone and do other things we think should be done when the needs are completed. When we use our mobile phones as a social entertainment tool, the identities of the tool and the owner are often inadvertently swapped. Just imagine, how many times have you wanted to spend ten minutes on your phone for entertainment, only to end up spending forty minutes? Of course you can choose to put your phone down at ten minutes, but are you capable of doing so? You don't, so you don't really have a choice. Tech giants need our attention to monetize advertisers, and they have enough incentives to make technology better. AIs trained by hundreds of millions of Internet users know too well how to keep us in software interfaces, and they will keep pushing us with offers that we cannot refuse, and then try to induce our behavior. However, although the principle is clear, there are still difficulties in practice. But it's better than being numbly manipulated, eating hot pot, singing songs, and suddenly becoming a tool man. At least when we're struggling, we can still realize, "Hey, little brat! He's trying to seduce me again, but there's no door! My father is going to wash the dishes!" The phone is just a tool, when to use it, how to use it, it's up to me After all, it says no.
