Blogger, via Conscious Use of Technology

Our media environment has become toxic. I don’t mean by this, simply, that the content of the media has become toxic (has become superficial, petty, mean-spirited, over-stimulating, unthoughtful, pandering, or divisive, though it trends these ways). I mean that technological change in the media – the rise of social media and the smart phone most prominently – have produced an environment that is poisoning us mentally and emotionally.
