Most technology today perpetuates excessive attachment to material outcomes.

Every time something new comes out promising an improved life at T = T+1, many people shift their attention towards their life’s inadequacies - all the areas that could be improved - instead of enjoying all the parts that are actually going great at T=T. Acquiring the new thing doesn’t reduce the likelihood that the cycle will repeat when the next thing comes out.

I think it’s an incredibly unsustainable way of living life and viewing life, and there isn’t a lot of technology that teaches us to focus on the important part: appreciating life as it is today instead of measuring, judging, criticizing, thinking, optimizing, developing new entitlements, growing ego, and whatever other activities make us feel bad for no reason!!!
