I’m starting to hate the internet. I’m also starting to hate my phone

ead internet theory is a thing and that it got worse with AI bots working on changing people's opinion on the internet.

like i hate it. i really do hate it. i hate my phone because it serves as a gateway you know? i looked into my screen time last time. apparently my average is 3 hours a day. that's still a lot. the only time i spent 50 minutes on my phone was during the holy week, where I spent most of my days playing with cats, watching movies on the TV, and creating.

i don't know maybe my screen time is that high is because i use messenger to check messages from my sister and from my boyfriend. i mean if Kevin was at home i probably don't use my phone that much. but I’m aware when i use my phone. i use it around 30 minutes upon waking up. i use it around 15 minutes before bed. i scroll on Facebook every now and then. that's where the 3 hours came from.

i want to a lower screen time. i know it's ambitious to make it zero, but let's try 1 hour a day. for this week.

actually I’m leaning more into not using it anymore lol. what i need my device for:

1. messenger - can't use text because my family relies on messenger

2. camera - for vlogging

3. voice recorder - for thoughts i can't write about because I’m in the middle of walking around.

4. video games - can't let go of my games. i game around night time, or lunch time.

social media, quick searches, and art inspo i can do on my laptop or in my tablet.

updating the website definitely goes in laptop.

what else.

Look, if my pixel dies tomorrow, I’m going to replace it with a Mive style folder or a Samsung folder. heck even a Duoqin f22. I’m done with smart phones. i just want those functionalities above and I’m to broke to do down the multiple devices route.

overall, i hate that my siblings doesn't bother with using their regular prepaid load in messaging me and would prefer to use messenger instead. i mean it's kinda practical, data is cheaper than text anyway. so yeah that sucks.

i could also use my phone as a "computer" whenever i go outside instead. you know, like a mini laptop or something. i only use it when I’m outside of the house, which is super rare granted I’m super broke right now. but yeah that's the deal.

okay. my main device when I’m at home is my laptop. my phone doesn't exist when I’m at home. my tablet serves as a secondary device for art and all that stuff. okay, okay.

I hate the internet and I hate my phone
