it continues to baffle me how many people either view tech as inherently bad or inherently always good, like holy shit how hard is it to recognize that some things are good and some bad, and that how something is used matters?

i like having a phone, it's very nice to not have to worry about being able to talk to people and getting lost in the forest, i like being able to find answers to questions without spending 4 hours at the library.
I wouldn't like being constantly contacted by people from my workplace, but that's not somehow the fucking phone's fault, that's the fault of it being societally and legally acceptable to harass people like that.

societally and legally acceptable

Only because you allow it to be. It's either illegal or unacceptable in a lot of places

i know, i live in one of the places where the idea of your workplace contacting you outside of job hours is a very strange one.
