do u think social media is distracting the world?
i think it is, much like a drug addiction. social media programs lure people to watch mindless programs like reality tv ect.... and spend their time watching that instead of spending time doing more productive things in life like understanding what's REALLY going on iin the world and/or helping the world improving overall living.

to some extent, I can totally agree. I simply hate most forms of reality TV, unless it's actually teaches me something useful. such as the History channel, discovery channel, and sometimes Natgeo, but i have to admit Natgeo no longer has my respect. since most if it's shows are about "prison", or "police work" which of course, upsets me that they do not show the true side of the story.
for example, making the cops look like some kind of super heros, which in all reality quite often the cops are the real criminals.
but, at least those police shows on natgeo aren't as messed up as celeberty reality shows, that is the part of "social media" that most disgust me. it just proves that people worship the rich and famous, money and power. how anyone can be content watching rich people brag about their money on TV is totally beyond me. especially when most of those rich people do not derserve that kind of money, considering the methods they used to obtain it.

but, thats about all I can say. although I'm sure I forgot something. just not sure what.
