#technology revolution

Wondering how my consciousness would be different if I lived in a pre internet world, and I totally remember before smartphones existed and before there was constant connection to others as I was growing up at the beginning of this (there was text which was used more often but you had to use a pc or laptop to check Facebook or msn it was at the time) I've just got a new flat and I'm slowly moving things - so far I have clothes and bathroom stuff, I've got a radio for music and I've got a smartphone with 4g I'm typing from right now but yet I feel so disconnected and isolated. I'm someone who reads a fair amount and when a creative urge strikes I'll roll with it but mostly I prefer to go outside (it's winter in Scotland so less possible now) or go to the gym. I don't think it's healthy that it's been 5 minutes and already I'm typing this in my phone - but this is a sort of reflection. How much time must I waste on my phone? Scrolling and often reading articles to be honest, but still many hours must be lost to endless scrolling, just habitually checking to fight the sense of isolation. I've always been aware I'm not comfortable being alone for extended periods, but I really must force myself to put down my phone more and disconnect - hearing the news right now would be a great comfort to hear the latest goings on in our society even if I disagree with much of it and find it negative.
