An off the cuff episode, Ben and Aaron discuss how technology has become increasingly intrusive in our lives. Relying on personal anecdotes and observations, the hosts question whether our mounting dependency on technology is doing more harm than good. Whether it is the predatory advertising model taking over social media or simply our addiction to the dopamine hit doled out by our phones, it is time for a much-needed pushback against these trends and a concerted effort to rethink the role technology plays in our lives. For now, the hosts advocate for a healthier and more balanced relationship with technology. Instead of always consuming myriad forms of media, we need to take a step back and focus on being active rather than passive. Ultimately, the purpose of life is to live, but succumbing to the thrall of consumption culture poses a direct threat to that which makes us human.
