I agree.

It's also something that you can't help but find, in a way. I mean... balance has a patient time frame.
It also seems to be that balance for one is imbalance for another.. and that unfair balance is a thing.
E.g. cuteness or vulnerability can balance for ineptitude.
Balance also seems like a matter of perspective in life. E.g. revisionist history.

The article is about balance, but it's comical in it's perspective. It argues that having technology enslaves you to that technology, which is a preposterous notion, except as a metaphor. Even as a metaphor it's thin, because it's clearly emotional displacement. I.e. people who are not focusing on what they're doing can't blame the tool they're holding.


Mostly, I poke a bit of fun, because I think this article had a slant of, "Kids these days... They just don't match up to kids in my day."
Which has been reported in every form of recorded history.

It's hard to take a claim seriously when it has that kind of track record.
