The internet is now so ingrained in our lives, we can't really function without it. We use for bills, timetables, weather and we're so used to having info at our fingertips that we start to get anxious when we can't find something out. 25 years ago if you didn't know something you'd just forget about it most of the time, but now you start worrying and have to know something. Then there's social media, the parasites of the internet, sucking our lives and sanity into a great gaping maw of nothingness. Social media is addictive, seriously addictive, the hit, the reward, the lack of confidence when your standing goes down, hmmm classic signs of an addictive "substance". Back away from it, use it every couple of days but don't get sucked in.
