Don't let the screen swallow up real life
Opening "Cell Phone Waste Man", a chill of being spied on arises spontaneously. The world described by Ishikawa Yuki is a true reflection of our current situation: mothers are addicted to the accurate data of breastfeeding apps, but ignore the cries of babies eager for eye contact; professionals are bound by GPS positioning and exhaust themselves in the anxiety of "always on call". We think we are making use of fragmented time, but in fact our lives are being chopped up by algorithms. As the book says, the easy availability and sensory stimulation of mobile phones make us, like Pavlov's dogs, conditioned to respond to every red dot prompt. This "convenience" is robbing us of our ability to think deeply and feel love. After reading this book, I tried to put down my phone and touch the texture of the real world. After all, life should not just be a glowing screen, but the living present.
