Here's a YouTube video about the bowed heads permanently stuck on Social Media: https://youtu.be/QugooaNRnsk

It's extremely good.

Gads...the idiots at the gym! They can’t put their damn phones down, so they’ll do a set, sit on the machine and look at their phone for many minutes, then maybe do another set...

I am ready to KILL.

Yes, this video is extremely good; B&W makes it even more morose. When the documentary Social Network came out I saw it 3 times in 1 week. I couldn't believe what I thought I was seeing and had to make sure. lol! I never signed up for FB as it was created/stolen out of pure jealousy and greed.

The Social Dilemma is another profound documentary featuring the CEOs of Big Tech: https://archive.org/details/the.-social.-dilemma.-2020.1080p.-webrip.x-264.-aac-5.1-yts.-mx

If you like to learn the 'old-school' way by reading a hard copy book I recommend: Nicholas Carr's The Shallows - What The Internet is Doing to Our Brains (2011).

For the effect of technology (our cell phones!) on our cells: Resonance - Beings of Frequency is my favorite:

Read The Shallows 10 years ago and apparently I need to revisit it :) Thanks to all for the encouraging comments.

The Social Dilemma is sobering and enlightening. I recognize so much of what it demonstrated active in my life and the life of my children.
