The Internet / Technology on Ego Development

[PukkaDanks]

Hi Guys,

I'm obsessed with how technology has both the potential to rapidly move forward ego development (biggest case I wouldn't have found actualized.org without it, most likely would judt be sitting at the same stage as my family and peers)

 

However, I'm also acutely aware that the way most people use technology and the internet is actually maybe making it harder to escape their own echo chambers and really advance. People's who's lives are so caught up in social acceptance via Instagram, and 'tribe' like culture will surely find it very difficult to evolve.

 

I'm wondering what everyone here think technologies role in ego development is? Should it be viewed as an oppurtunity? A threat? Both? How do we best promote ego development in the connected world?

 

Thanks,

 

Tom

Technology if used intentionally for pragmatic purposes is fantastic.

Use with no real intention ("entertain me" is not a real intention), causes more harm than good.

It's not the tool, but how we use it.
