    Not originally, no. But they did make an iPod Touch. It was basically an iPhone but without the phone.

      The marketing photo used is for the iPod. Apple is and was quite good at marketing, they could have used an original iphone marketing campaign.

    You’re totally right, if we had an actual equitable society, technology would make our lives better rather than worse. Capitalism is the root of many of our problems, not technology itself, because the profit motive gives corporations all sorts of adverse incentives. If we optimized for human happiness and quality of life instead of profits we’d have a far better world.

      I think at this point capitalism is so close to the source of all our problems it’s probably impossible to find an issue that hasn’t been made much worse by it if it isn’t the direct cause to begin with.

      Let’s respectfully leave the moralism in the church. We wouldn’t have a “better” world, whatever good and better are, we would have a world (an abstraction, I prefer the term “set of social relations”) that is in the interest of all that work, will work, and have worked to sustain reproduction of life, i.e. worked to continue to live.

  How many of you are also trying to mindfully disengage from our phones, just pause for thought every time you pick it up?

  I try to shut off my phone, then my brain starts worrying if some crazy shit is about to happen and I want time to run so here I am scrolling again.

  • BigBananaDealer@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Yeah, sometimes I just can’t get my brain to shut up. Might be time for a detox. Or whiskey. Or a whiskey detox.

  My phone is fine and still pretty cool. Just put it away now and then. Also deal with mental health issues if possible, it works wonders for all parts of life

  • silverneedle@lemmy.ca ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    What if one’s mental health issues come from being poor?
