‘I often wonder whether real conversation in real time may eventually give way to these sanitised and easier screen dialogues’

I wish my screen dialogues were sanitised and easier. If anything, they’re worse.

‘My fear is that these technologies are infantilising the brain into the state of small children who are attracted by buzzing noises and bright lights, who have a small attention span and who live for the moment.’

Well, sudden sounds frighten me, but I can’t argue with the rest of this. Bugger.
