This is a nice one.
And I see it happening right in front of my eyes at work.
‘How it is used’ will defer by the individual and specially for new tools, there will always be a generation of suffering.
Project Management, Jira/scrum etc had one (I’d say, still ongoing for most workplaces, that haven’t figured out the correct match). This one will too; probably more of it.
There was a doctor who said to me, “computer games can be addictive”. This was after I told her I play games, so she was pretty much implying that I was getting addicted. This was when I hadn’t played for over a month due to lack of time from my 9 to 6:30 job.
The same doctor bragged about how she couldn’t go about her day without drinking coffee right after waking up.
She said those 2 things within the same 5 minutes.
