There's some information that doesn't add to our lives, it can even put it into and even worse situation. How do you use smart tech to combat this scourge...?

I can't offer any great examples.... so am hoping for others to contribute here to help others to to limit the impact here...

I have a rule that turns off the stereo when the news comes on. However, lately, I've been using headphones, which can easily be flipped off.

I am on a "do not click it" regime. Too much "information" on social media and in search engines. Unless it is about someone I care about - don't click it. If it is political - don;t click it. If it is a fantastic story it is probably click bait - don't click it. Get a real newspaper subscription (on-line) and use that for news. Watch news shows on TV - but watch out for opinion shows. This will cut down on the mind pollution in our lives.

Not tech, but technically applies: "Cut the cord in 1997" No more cable TV, no news subscriptions, no landline, don't stream any news. Whatever I do read on Google News tends to come from the Technology or Finance sector. Find myself wishing Hubitat was a publicly traded company, since I now am sitting on a pile of cash before buying into the dip.
