"First they became addicted to the Internet as a tool of convenience. Then it became a cheap substitute for real-life interaction."

Go into any bar these days. People are all around looking at their phones instead of enjoying the impromptu company. You don't sit down next to some old sot on on side telling you why man never went to the moon while on the other side you have a couple stopping for a snort before they have to go to the opera. Now it is just everyone looking down at their glowing brick trying to find something better. Somewhere where they are just a number, another face in the crowd.

Used to be you lived in the world you were in, not in the digitaverse.

We are going to hell in a bucket of bits and bytes.
