The dopamine addiction is to strong now sadly 🙃

For sure. One thing about most addicting internet apps is that they're global in nature. I wonder if the same problems would exist for a hyper-local social app. I suppose dating apps fall into this category, but what else is out there?


Anything mobile phone related, I think.  Social media, mobile games, anything that lets us attach to the screen wherever and whenever.

Don't get me wrong. I love computers, I love the internet, I love online stuff.  But having it in your pocket everywhere you go can be incredibly damaging to both you as an individual and to social cohesion as a whole.  You see it in the young kids who have attention spans of 5 seconds because they're so used to getting instant dopamine hits from their apps 24/7
