We're inundated with advice on how to cut back on our screen time, and urged instead to embrace nature, human relationships, and being present in the moment. But has anyone actually considered those realities? They sound like a lot of work.

The Internet practically runs itself! We use it for work, for family, for research. We're really, really good at being online! And that's something to celebrate.
