I've been thinking a lot recently about the addictiveness of media, particularly of software. When users are the product, then #AddictiveDesign is inevitable: such companies need to make users present on their platform as much as possible to make more money. It has gotten so severe that software has become like addictive drugs, ruining the lives of many. We as a society have forgotten that computers were invented to augment human intelligence, not turn us all into addicts.
