I'm kind of with you here. I'm not so much into social media and such, but every time I hear anything/read anything about it, it seems pretty terrible, and seems to be depersonalizing the world. Which is funny because it's supposed to connect people.

    The longer I'm away from TV and social media the more undesirable it becomes. Stop watching TV for a few months and advertising becomes almost unbearable. We've all acclimated ourselves to being constantly manipulated by forces that don't have our best interest in mind.

This part makes me happy because I feel exactly the same way, and I feel people that actually think/practice this are getting more and more rare.
