Indeed. I turned my laptop screen as well as my phone to grayscale. Because this way, when I look at you across the table, I see you as more vivid than the screen. But if I don’t turn it grayscale using the color filter, then my screen is infinitely more vivid than the realities around me, and it’s difficult for me to resist the addictive intelligence living in my phone. So I think whether it’s about grayscale, whether it’s about screen time, larger shared screens and so on, we need to collectively set new norms about the ethical use, humane use, of technologies. Instead of trapping each other on this hamster wheel.
