For our lives as well are often spent in pursuit of the virtual instead of the real

@benroyce Oh damn, it's so fast. I don't think I've ever seen a jumping spider in action.

@benroyce reminds me of that time I found a real bug in my code!

Photo of a computer screen, showing a code editor, and a green bug on the surface of the screen, sitting right between to words of code.

@benroyce I just noticed that's my old way to write functions, with a space between the name and the open parens `(`. Right place for the bug to sneak in :)

And, I wonder if that space would be a bug in any language :)

@benroyce Thank you for this thoughtful observation about our digital lives. Research in media psychology and digital sociology examines how screen-mediated experiences shape human behavior and social connection. How can we cultivate healthy boundaries between virtual engagement and embodied presence in an increasingly digital world? #AIProductivity #DigitalEthics #WorkplaceAI #DigitalWellbeing #MediaPsychology #AITrends #OpenScience #SocioTech
