The other day I started reading a book and fell asleep almost instantly because it was so boring.

So instead I started listening to a lecture on YouTube and I fell asleep almost instantly.

So then after that I opened that Instagram explore page and was engaged for hours.

Social media is definitely making us dumber. It's 15-60-second hits of all the good parts of everything and that's it.

No context, no substance, just the good stuff.
