Comment on Is the "Gen z stare" a real thing?
JackbyDev@programming.dev 15 hours agoIt feels pretty odd to describe someone seeming to not be focused until they realize someone else is there as them being stuck in a fantasy world as a result of screen usage. Putting a smile on and being engaging can be exhausting. I don’t think we should fault folks for not doing it for 8 hours while they work.
I think there is a case that could be made for ‘screen time’ having some kind of impact for how someone might come to value the presentation of persona for the sake of others comfort.
Like if you spend less time in person-to-person interactions, its might mean you won’t value it enough to constantly keep it up.

it’s your job to do that. jobs are exhausting… if you can’t do that basic task then you shouldn’t have that job.
