The End of Our Extremely Online Era

This Substack publication by Tommy Dixon argues that the "extremely online" era, characterized by excessive smartphone use, social media addiction, and constant content consumption, is nearing its end. Dixon believes people are becoming increasingly aware of the negative effects of this lifestyle and will gradually choose to unplug and return to real life experiences. He shares his own experiences living off-grid in Newfoundland, where he has reduced his technology use and found greater happiness and fulfillment in simple, unplugged living. He also discusses the potential for a future where technology plays an even more dominant role in our lives, but expresses hope that this will not be the case.
