I agree social media and materialism are negative impacts on society. Social media in particular is destructive in ways I don't have time to try to type out, being old enough to remember college before social media existed.

But I think "dividing time into semesters" is a way to be more aware of the passage of time. To help us be more aware, not less. I didn't see it as anything but a handy tool.
