There will always be brilliant people and beautiful art, but I think almost every person has gained a high dependence on cell phones/social media/internet in just the last 5-6 years. These are companies like Instagram, Facebook, Whatsapp, Youtube etc that algorithmically feed content to entire societies, and/or keep them hooked using techniques that are known to be addictive. The whole IM thing too is a very unnatural way to speak to other people. I think all of this combined is disastrous for attention span, creativity, and normal social skills.  Do you think this is okay, and just a natural development of humanity?
it reminds me of when the telephone, or television, was invented. or the automobile. everyone thought those things were ruining everything, and to be fair they all did. everything has been ruined for quite some time now
