One time a colleague and I found that book just chilling under an unused desk at work. We had never heard of it, so we were pretty confused. ๐Ÿ˜† Still kinda am, honestly.

I think the phrase has the same basic problem as a lot of common advice... the real truth is more nuanced than any pithy phrase could ever be. At best, it's a quick way of reminding someone who already knows better but has temporarily forgotten.

I think there are much more substantial reasons at play here than just "not liking it," and I think you knew that before you posted. :P

Social media is a double edged sword. It connects but also isolates... informs but also decieves. Entertains, but also cripples.

It's crazy to think that things were so different even just 15 years ago. Maybe one day we can once again have a wholly positive relationship with this technology. But first, I think, we have to break the addiction.

In other words, I think this is a good start.
