This was very good. You've captured perfectly my love-hate relationship with the black mirror ... an additictive cognitive addition that renders me both superhumanly intelligent and subhumanly stupid. Instant access to everything from The Feed becoming the relentless hum of the hive, drowning out the quiet space inside from which creation springs.
I love this!!! So, so true. I find myself more and more mindful of how I use my brain. Yes, maybe I have five minutes right now in between tasks to check my phone, but what will that five minutes cost me when I can't get back into focused concentration for hours later?

The balance between superhuman intelligence and superhuman stupidity is a knife's edge on the internet. Endlessly frustrating to try and navigate.
The electronic metacortex makes us all idiot-savants.

Exactly! It costs so much more than just five minutes.
