Quite an interesting paragraph about new medium displacing "better" activities. It reminded me of an English radio program in which they discussed how experts in the 19th century argued that novels were rotting men and women of their strength and vitality.
Another interesting point about trivializing addiction that reminded me was "criteria creep" or something a guest speaker who's an expert on PTSD was talking about when he visited my uni.
Anyways, I'm looking forward in reading your next post.
