John Sutter , 80 , walks six miles a day without fail.

Sutter: Cell phones and technology that goes with them have taken over our lives and our world.

TomDispatch regular Frida Berrigan sent him the piece he’s posting today .

Berrigan : By now my phone is essentially an addiction, that it feels eerily enough as crucial to my life as my hand or foot.

A man set a fire at a Tesla dealership in the middle of the night and used a homemade Molotov cocktail to set a Cybertruck on fire.

The fire spread, destroying charging stations and setting a second truck aflame, causing more than $200,000 in damage.

Aaron Carroll : Turning off your phone means a small window of datalessness that offers a twenty-first-century version of rebellion.

Carroll: As a parent, I think a lot about the kind of world I'm preparing my kids for.

LZ Granderson : At every juncture, technology that we take for granted has a high labor, material, and environmental cost.

LZ: I'd really like a communications device that, in order to use, had to power with a bicycle or a hand crank.
