PREVIEW: The Friday Edition - It's time to embrace the tech backlash.

A revolution is brewing.If it were a pot of water, I’d say it’s been on the stove for seven or eight minutes. It’s not quite boiling and bubbling and bursting, but the water is hot. The pot is hissing, and the stainless steel is shimmering. It won’t be too long before it boils over.Signs of this revolution are everywhere: On the front pages of The New York Times, in niche corners of the internet, among my closest friends and family. It’s a backlash, really — one that began quietly and tentatively but is turning thunderous and unapologetic. It’s happening in homes, schools, restaurants, the workplace, and at parties.It is a resistance and a genuine dread of just how much time we are all spending in front of our screens. Whatever the latest ubiquitous consumer technology is — and however it’s designed to demand we spend more time looking at our phones or computers — we loathe it. We resist our acquiescence to it. This is a new phenomenon. For the last few decades, the dominance of these screen-based consumer technologies has been accelerating exponentially. For a long time, there was no predictable end in sight and very few signs of resistance. Ad-free podcasts are here!
