You are describing a serious psychological issue. I urge you to seek treatment with psychologist or psychiatrist.

Well I think the comment is just pointing out how the ability of tech that can do anything makes the act of doing anything mundane... Which is sad, but may not be a serious psychological issue

I'm not sure why you're being downvoted.

Being miserable because "there's no point in doing anything" is definitely a sign of depression if it's persistent and starts interfering with your life.

Not saying technology does or doesn't factor in here.
