I've not seen this particular video - which is well done, and very disturbing, but I have seen and heard about the fully intended addictive qualities of social media.

I know it has effected me personally. I sometimes try to remember what I did with all my time, before I had a home computer. I feel fortunate to have grown up during a time before all this. When we depended on our imaginations to create activities. Where get-togethers with friends was a regular occurrence. Where calling someone, sometimes resulted in a busy signal - so hey - you called back later ! And when you were away from home - no phone except the public booths !

I see what's happening to people. We're more connected than ever, and yet more alone. And there's this seemingly constant urgency about everything : "I texted you an hour ago ! why didn't you answer !!??" (by the way - I refuse to text, and I hardly use my cell at all - still have a landline, and answering machine)

And then, add to all this the growing angst and worry over our leadership ( I use that term very loosely ! ). The combination is having very negative effects on so many people. We're being weakened, and separated at a time when we need to unite our strengths.

Not good, Not good at all ...

Thanks for posting this !
