Rob's Soapbox - Enjoy A Poo

<p>I realize that people of all ages are constantly opining about the trappings of technology, while, (ironically), usually typing on a keypad and/or staring at a screen. Let’s be real, you’re reading this on such technology. Just because people are hypocrites, it doesn’t mean that they are also wrong.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>To be clear, I love technology and believe, on a whole, this is an amazing time to be alive vis a vis innovation. More information and access is always a better thing, even when it exposes how stupid and dangerous a society is. The truth is, though, that we can’t, individually fix this rotten cultural cesspool we live in, but we can do some high-quality maintenance on ourselves.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Countless studies show time after time, the dangers of screen time. Did you know there’s even a name for it (of course there is, everything has a title…) it’s called Screen Dependency Disorder, which is a stupid name because it doesn’t create an effective acronym. Obviously, Screen Addiction Disorder would have been perfect, but SAD was already taken by the totally fake and made-up Seasonal Affective Disorder, the condition of being depressed because of the change of seasons…pro-tip…fly somewhere, the weather will be different, dipstick. But, seriously, SDD? That’s way too close to STD and it discourages people from walking around and sharing their struggles as no one wants to loudly and proudly shout “I have SDD,” lest they see countless people nervously fidget and sidle away from them. <a href="https://www.premierhealth.com/your-health/articles/health-topics/screen-addiction-affects-physical-and-mental-health" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.premierhealth.com/your-health/articles/health-topics/screen-addiction-affects-physical-and-mental-health</a></p><p>&nbsp;<a href="https://nhahealth.com/screen-dependency-disorder-the-effects-of-screen-time-addiction/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://nhahealth.com/screen-dependency-disorder-the-effe
