Thanks for the post @dedicatedguy! Keep it coming.
Agree that the constant need to be Connected (with the fast paced expectations of the Internet) and with Social Media frenzy, we need to be in all places and no place at all. We begin to lack being Present (in the moment or just having no idea how to create Presence).
I've been following quite a few people on #LinkedInVideos and they seem to be creating loads of content but it seems like they lack a real sense of Purpose and Creativity.
It is no longer critical to create long and lengthy conversations or discussions in today's world... but just the short sweet 1min updates about our lives that seems Hip, Trendy (to Trending), and just in people's faces.
And that sadly, that has become what is accepted in the world today. No noise means = no presence means = no creativity. Hence the premise of the Great Distraction (which may be the cause of the Great Depression very soon), when people think they need to be heard and get the amounts of likes or upvotes for their "creative" content.
I prefer life impacting creativity... and not the flash in the pan sharing-your-thoughts-because-you-have-an-opinion sort of creativity.
Cheers mate!

I see what you are talking about.
The twitter culture. The tendency to consume fast and short information (and usually meaningless) in order to satisfy our need to "gain" some current knowledge.
I don't know if this aspect could end up creating a new Great Depression , but it can certainly create a new generation of people, that while having the opportunity to learn important knowledge, end up deciding to consume stupid content, worthless content. A person living like this would have a hard time raising the new generation.
It's a new generation that we are facing and understanding where they are coming from... from their perspective would help.
Thanks for the comment mate! Steem-ON!!
