The 21st century dawned with the promise of technological marvels that propelled us into a sea of digital innovation. This unstoppable digital wave permeated every facet of our lives, transforming how we wake up and how we rest at night.

Smart devices, apps, and social media emerged as powerful tools, bridging distances, simplifying complexities, and amplifying our human potential. Yet, as this digital wave swelled, it brought with it a subtle undertow.

The very technologies that promised liberation began to commandeer our time, chip away at our concentration, and subtly rewrite the script of our daily lives. The tools we created to serve us started to steer us, and the wave we rode began to ride us.
