spirituality

Everyone in the 90s was terrified of surveillance, like “they’re gonna watch us through the TV.”
Now we literally carry a panic rectangle that tracks our steps, our sleep, our moods, and we pay $9.99/month so it can yell at us for not meditating.

i'm personally quite torn about meditation apps 

bc it is easy to become reliant on them 
and further externalize our internal awareness

which may counteract the intent of meditation in some traditions

Things like apps or guided mediations are fine in the beginning, but you indeed have to be careful not to grow reliant on them.
