Short attention spans as a result of constant device distraction whether it is a smart phone or an ipad, sad superficiality and online exhibitionism on Facebook and life geared to 140 characters or less on Twitter - the myriad depredations the social media unfurls - how the screen has taken over our lives. We are slowly forgetting what genuine experience means, losing the communication and interaction mediums we are used to within such a short span of few years upon the advent of social media.
Screen addiction is disconcerting and adding a lot of distraction to the little ones in the family with everyone glued to their own devices and teenagers want to communicate only through Whatsapp, Facebook - wonder how we can keep our minds stimulated and keep them active. Need to see what these new forms of pleasure will bring in.. but sure they are adding a lot of distraction to our lives.
