    Wonderful. Thank you. Aza, I am SO blown away by your accountability, ALSO what I especially appreciated is: "the REASON I went through depression..." NO ONE expresses this anymore. Seriously. Depression is all about "chemical imbalance: here's an Rx..." rather than the REASON, or the linear exposure for the imbalance to have been caused. What I also loved about this segment is showing what works better in education and exposure: what to do that will be healthier. Examples help because we can be relieved that not all of our youth were destroyed by the tech-addictions and maybe that youth can help the other kids who have been harmed.

    I'm not addicted to technology and I have been using computers for quite a long time building PC's in the 1980's even at one point. I was smart enough to catch it when there is no option to view the next ten of something instead of an endless scroll and so on. Eh older people at a time before everything existing now, were addicted to their newspapers and radio shows maybe lol.

    Wonderful insights... Folks are becoming more disconnected with the TRUTH of who they are as a result of this addiction. Tech is a tool, not a life style.
    What would happen if the subjects in this short clip were asked to close their eyes for a while and just watch their Breath? Ahem.....

    I too shared with loved ones. Great piece, it validates my feelings on tech. I am in IT now since 1985. I watched this monster grow and see it as our possible downfall. Shouldn't be this way.

    INdeed: I had the privilege of serving in Waldorf Schools for 30 Years. It is thrilling to see Waldorf Graduates evolve into whole human beings: fearless, joyful, creative thinkers and compassionate in their deeds for society...Visit a Waldorf School....it is the best gift of Love you can give your children

    While I understand the point I don't agree with everything, specially when they equate drugs to technology, because technology is not the only drug of this world. EVERYONE is an addict, we just different drugs. In my case technology is how I work and how I communicate with my family so far away from me, I need the technology to know they're fine and to joke about the burn toast of the day, I feel so close to them. And I also get close to people beside me, I play Pokemon go and I go out with my 3 siblings, we play together, we joke and laugh, and then we go buy ice cream or eat or something, we have a very real quality time that's very difficult to get in this rushing times. I also can help my unstress and laugh showing her cats or dogs videos, or I get the recipe for a meal that we share as family... Labelling technology as the worst demon/drug of the time I think is exaggerating, for sure the usage it has sometimes is bad, but I truly believe it has helped is greatly. Going of the grid is not the ultimate solution, no for everyone at least, but learning to use it is

      Do you think families as a whole are closer knit or more stable today than in the past?

      @@cudreeti not sure. My siblings don't really like meeting family or gatherings, they like general solitude. But as brothers we go out to play pokemon go, we play online games with my sister and brother overseas. We messages with them all the time. I believe technology is not basically bad, we just have to find a way to work with it. I have a lot of family overseas so been able to receive a message after an earthquake, looking at their videos real-time... It's all thanks to technology. I can bond with my mother over cat videos cause I can't stand her sope opera... Sometimes it really feels like the world is disconnecting, but making friends without discrimination is becoming a real thing, keeping bonds even with great distances is possible and if you check statistics there's more youngsters taking care of their parents... We're not really disconnecting, we're just learning to connect in a different way

      Magnus Andres Lescano I’ll agree with that. Seems like it has been helpful in your situation. Cheers.
