This does make me think. I remember the days where I would turn up at the library to read books. With my phone, I can read and learn but instead I doom scroll.

I combine the two. I doomscroll looking for things to read and learn about, which enhances the doom significantly!

I find I'm involved in a combination of doom scrolling and reading through my digital books. They're not academic in nature but they bring me joy... I also leverage my device for googling the answer to any one of the thousand questions my offspring will ask daily.

We can't use oil or gas anymore.

Also, there are 15 billions people on earth.
