The Cult of the Internet

The Cult of the Internet thrives in a society where constant connectivity is seen as a marker of success. This obsession with being online, driven by technopoly—where technology dictates societal values—distracts from meaningful, focused work. As Neil Postman warned, when technology leads unchecked, we lose the ability to critically evaluate its impact. This reinforces presenting digital platforms as solutions to every problem, making it difficult to resist the constant pull of the internet. This results in distractions and instant gratification overshadow deep, intentional work.
