      People have been claiming that new media will destroy society at least since we invented writing, and probably before.

        No I get that, but this is different honestly. Look up rates of teenage depression/anxiety/suicide attempts, it’s a stunning correlation with the advent of smartphones and social media. Millenials got out just in time.

      Karma.

      The young treat the old however they do. But then the young grow old and get treated the same.
