Its a weird world we live in. I can know about everything that is happening in the world and yet I feel like I trust so little. I’m sure it is happening to everyone. I see podcasts, video shorts, long form videos, coworker conversations all pointing to that we are getting so much information but we hold on to so little.
I get this scenario a lot. I get a text message from a family member asking if I have seen the Instagram video they sent me. I haven’t. I’m intentionally kid of avoiding it. I then see a notification pop up that another family member has sent me a Facebook video over Messager. I get home from work, and I now have 20+ notifications of Instagram videos, reddit threads, x word-fights, and Facebook garbage on my phone. I’m tired just thinking of it.
So what should I do? I’ve considered for a few minutes getting a flip phone, but i need email and most regular apps for banking.
