Our reliance on social media
As we add more and more digital devices to our pockets, our wrists, our cars, and our refrigerators, we become more reliant on our devices, and especially reliant upon the human contact that social media provides, connecting us more deeply yet dividing us more extensively.
American rapper and activist Prince Ea has recently created a moving video about why he refuses to allow technology to control him, offering his opinion on the negative side of social media in our society.
Although we talk a lot about social media here, like anything in life, moderation is required. There is a down side to a social media that we must keep in mind.
