Question

Tech nostalgia tends to look wrong-headed eventually, whether it longs for the days before Gutenberg, or before daily newspapers, or before Twitter. We need to work against the ways that our minds have been systematically 'rewired' to align with the interests of tech giants, polluters and even a culture of overparenting. We can't truly opt out of the age of distraction by, say, ditching the smartphone. Indeed, we will still worry, as we should, about how our minds interact with external things. But together we should imagine a future of more conscientious thinking, not a past.
Which of the following would be the most meaningful conclusion of the passage?

• A. Human beings have always been worried about new technologies.
• B. We live in an age of distraction and cannot opt out of it.
• C. We are justified in worrying ourselves sick about external things
• D. Longing for the age before technology invaded our lives is beneficial in some ways.
• E. We should imagine a future where we can think with new technologies conscientiously.
