It isn't even modern technology that fucks us up either, it's the way we use it. The human mind wasn't meant to process the amount of stimulation that gets thrown at it when a person goes on a social media binge or whatever. We don't have the mental facilities to be concerned with everything that's going on in every corner of the world. Humans are tribal animals.
I'd post the exact opposite. From a sensory standpoint, any day out in the woods is far more intense than anything except perhaps an IMAX film. What human's don't handle as well is the wide range of artificially induced emotions: lust, adrenaline rushes, narcissistic valication, etc. can all be had very easily from technology which short-circuits the parts of your brain that associate productive behavior with rewards.
