The thing about technology is that though many of it has its advantage and burdens, it's rarely ever forced on you. You get unwanted emails from work on your smartphone? Don't connect your smartphone to your work email. It lags, freezes, wont connect? Get a better phone or something simpler. You feel constant internet access makes you unproductive? Use some self-control or buy a dumbphone. The place where I spend the most amount of time browsing the internet on my phone is in my house when I'm on the couch or in bed. You make it sound as if its the technology's fault that throughout the day it's making you unproductive, but you do not have use it. Why would you choose to keep on using something that gives you 'incredible anxiety' if you don't have to?

That's fine for the individual, but if you have a problem with society as a whole then that's a different story. I do not think the next generation will resist technology as a whole. Why would they? The technology may be very different than what appears to be on the cards now. Technology evolves from day to day and the innovation of today could be considered a passed fad next year. A bit like that H.G. Wells quote - "The crisis of today is the joke of tomorrow." Like you say, the best technology is unobtrusive and who's to say that a future version of Google Glass isn't the next digital watch, so to speak? And like wise, I don't think social media will ever disappear, only change forms. Studies have shown that teens are already moving away from centralised hubs such as Facebook and using specific tools like Snapchat, Instragram and WhatsApp. Think how different the social media landscape was for us 10 years ago, who knows what new vision will drive the space in the future.

And in reference to your last paragraph, it seems almost everything in this world is crazy behind the scenes. If you enjoy questions and discussing this type of thing though, check out Charlie Brooker's Black Mirror series.
