I get this PM:

"Oh, your opinion. Super reliable. Why don't you put a 30 cent ruler next to it and verify."

A whole generation, spending hours a day staring into their devices or multiple devices. Scrolling, swiping, clicking, multitasking, the thing constantly emitting sounds of all sorts. Following and being followed. @this and @that. #this and #that. It cannot be a good thing for society.
