This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

We are more connected to farther away things while becoming more and more isolated from the things near us. I know people more passionate and informed over issues in a different country than their own local city's.
Agreed. While I donโt think tech is horrible in every way, I do believe people are over reliant on their phones when they really shouldnโt be. This is coming from someone who hides their screen time report to avoid shame, so Iโm not guiltless in this either.
I have no connection to any of those except phone bad book good. That's just observable fact.
When books started being mass-produced and publicly available, there was push back against those. Readers were portrayed as detached from reality, academic snobs, losers. Even today, there are significant political pushes to ban books and defund libraries.
Television, telephones, railroads, electricity, the printing press. There always have been (and probably always will be) people afraid of change who blame new technologies for the evils they see in society.
