Inescapable torment

When I was younger, I had a fixed TV time — something I would look forward to every day. And it came after, of course, studying, completing school work, playing with friends and eating dinner. Basically, after having done everything that was far more important. But today, it’s different.

Today, we are continually being bombarded with digital media updates. The result: Instead of helping create treasured moments, abuse of technology has turned into a plague that society cannot seem to fight off.

In all honesty, there is not anything about technology and its negative effects that has not already been said. We all know it. We have seen it, felt it, endlessly engaged with it, and hated ourselves for it. And yet, the cycle of torment is inescapable.
