Social media (smart phone proliferation and social media apps) are cancer and extremely unnatural. Humans did not evolve to be bombarded with and exposed to this much information and connection to other people, endlessly. Almost every piece of visual media is out of context by its very nature. Its virtual reality and is destroying our species from the inside out.

Incorrect. Have you ever been to the Amazon, been in a jungle?

Monkeys chattering in the trees, talking about each other, sharing gossip and getting a dopamine hit for every interaction, positive or negative.

Ask any Psychiatrist... social media taps into the most primal of our reward centers.
