I came across this video earlier today perusing through tech. websites and I think it’s a very accurate portrayal of what the up-and-coming generation find especially valuable: social media.  Social media goes hand in hand with technology and it’s devices.  We are an age consumed by face value rather than present value. We are becoming a defective society.  And a justification for this is proven by the children who are encouraged to grasp between their hands, an electronic device that at best stimulates finger movements while straining the muscles in their developing eyes, ultimately accelerating the diminishing abilities of vision.  It’s not their fault, and it’s not fair.
