I think your assessment of technology’s impact on our species is exceptionally well stated and is concerning. This train has left the station and there are no guardrails. A great series. The notion of ‘self’ is changing and I don’t see how it can be undone. Excellent thinking and writing.
Data point to consider, the text messaging you've described was an Apple thing, not standard on Android. It's app dependent to send a text, see when it was read, see the person is typing a long response, only to receive "Ok!". Samsung doesn't do this automatically. iPhone just comes this way.
Apple has done a great job of making their cell phone and Ideology a borderline cult. The Samsung commercial from a few years ago, people waiting in line in the rain for a phone, so they could be the first in their group to own one. The price itself is boggling, similar to buying a Dyson vacuum for twice the price just to discover it sucks just a little bit more to pay twice the price! Humans being human.
