Social MEdia

Everywhere you look someone is on a cell phone, a laptop, a device of some kind.  We no longer see people's eyes, because they are always focused in a downward direction.  We have launched a generation that has no idea how to have an ongoing conversation, because there are no silent spaces.  Every moment is filled tweeting, texting, e-mailing, or messaging someone who is not there.  They are constantly updating each other on every thought that passes through their minds.  What someone had for breakfast is suddenly equal to, even more important than, the real news of the world.  Why should I care that there is a famine in Africa?  I have breakfast to report.
