10. It’s fine to have social media, just do it in moderation. Do everything in moderation

11. Still use a flip phone and a land line, and that's just fine with me. Smart phones and social media are turning society into a bunch of zombies just going mindlessly through life. People are paying more attention to their lousy gadgets than having face-to-face human interactions, and that's a recipe for disaster, because it's making people socially inept.

12. Tristan, the good guy everyone loves. Paid millions by tech companies just to be that guy to prove that they all deep down care about us!

13. the attention economy – maximize the time spent on social media

14. I check my "smart phone" every few months, although I check email on my lap top a half dozen times a day. It doesn't have a SIM card because, for me at least, cell phones are more trouble than they're worth. I prefer a lap top to a smart phone because a lap top allows me to keep two or more programs open at once, so as to fact check information I receive. "Smart phones" are a barrier to intelligent communication.

15. Of course that's true every company is trying to maximum the time you spend attention on it's products. They just don't care about whether it's good for you or not.

16. Dude's an Efeyji
