We like to think of smartphones as freedom. GPS in your pocket, instant answers, connection to anyone at any time. But if you zoom out, they look less like tools — and more like cages.
Every ping, buzz, and banner is a leash tug. Dopamine loops built into apps keep you swiping, liking, and scrolling long after you meant to stop. It’s not an accident — it’s design. Companies pay teams of psychologists to make sure you can’t look away.
And while you’re distracted, your data is being mined. Every search, every like, every pause on a video is recorded, sold, and used to predict your next move. Freedom of choice? Not when algorithms already know what you’ll click before you do.
It’s not about Apple or Android, right or left. It’s the collective truth that modern life is hard to escape from because the leash is in your hand — and you asked for it.
A cage doesn’t have to lock. Sometimes it just has to glow.
