I wouldn't say that the internet is completely controlling us or vice versa but we do allow it to dominate a majority of our lives.
I feel like due to such an abundance in technology surrounding our daily lives were always plugged in somewhere somehow.
The internet has so many amazing uses but we need to use to carefully.
Every now and then take the time to unplug, enjoy nature (and yes I'm aware i sound like a parent dragging their teenage kid out on a camping trip but its the truth).
Check out my Blendspace to see some crazy facts about our use of the internet, over half our lifetime is spent in front of a screen.
Its quite ironic how we use the internet to talk about our over use of it but what to do haah we gotta express our selves somehow. And sadly text is becoming old fashioned now a days. We just tend to look online for any answer because its quick and easy. I'm all for modern technology but we cannot forget about what we started with, sometimes the purist info is simply in a paperback book.
Another thing i've noticed is people young and old have started living relationships and friendships through the internet... while its a great thing to keep in touch or talk long distance it shouldn't be the go to source of communication. The same effort isnt put into maintaining a friendship or relationship when its online.
So put down them damn phones pls and look someone in the eye and have a conversation. IKR ASTONISHING
BUT WE CANT BECOME FAT AND LAZY AND TECHNOLOGY OBSESSED.
