We're so very focused on ourselves and on self-promotion. It goes on all day with Facebook and Twitter and Instagram.

I think we really have to ask ourselves, are we really using to children to promote ourselves?

We don't really even know how the Internet and technology are changing us, or our brains and our attention span.

So fine a medicine is the will to action.
