<human>: Give me a shortened version of the text

I introduced my younger brother to Reddit. Kind of unintentionally; we were just exchanging cool videos and what-have-you. Now he keeps telling me how much he likes it. And that's cool but I worry about his motivation, like he doesn't really need the crushing procrastinatory powers of Reddit to help distract. He does that just fine with other stuff. I feel like I just introduced him to crack.

As much as I love reddit, I feel the grip it can have on you can be vice-like. The constant flow of new information, the endless subreddits, cool videos and interesting articles, etc, etc...
The worst is when you keep checking back every few mins to see if anything is different and it isnt...   :(

On a sidenote I've been thinking about the psychology of internet addiction and technology addiction in general. Consider how much information we process on a daily basis compared to what was possible before computers. **Over time our minds will evolve (or devolve if technology makes thinking easier)**. I find it cool and scary that we are the first generation of humans subjecting our minds to these technologies. We have more information available at our fingertips than all of the kings of old put together. Between phones and computers we virtually always have a portal to the virtual world to hand. Many people are uncomfortable if without access to the internet or mobile phones for any period of time, or even at all. Also, the impact on attention span is worrying.
<bot>: Introduced younger brother to reddit, feel bad about ruining his productivity for the next few years of his life. Rant about technology
