Great exchange here;). In real life we don’t have to turn something off- social nuances take care of that- like a friend or neighbor knowing you- that you take naps at a certain time or we set boundaries with each other and say I usually need time to wind down in the afternoon- hint hint- people get to know each other and just know.

Some people experience info overload or instructive exhaustion in technology- to turn this or that off or on- at least the non tech professions. We are dependent of technology but only because we are forced to.
