Social Media Revolution

Well what I thought, was that media really is taking over the world, not exactly a positive was but in negative ways as well. The Media Revolution is advancing in so many ways, creating more forms of communication of all kinds, and creating new internet sights daily, hourly. I think that more and more people though are finding thereselves less involved in the 'real' life, like whats going on around them. People are tuning out their family, friends everyone, everything around them and focusing more one the media and whats new, or the latest out there. It's sad how you can walk into any resturaunt now days and there at a table will be a family; a mom, a dad, maybe a 6 year old son and a 12 year old daughter, the kids are enoying their dinner or lunch or whatever and mom and dad are busy on their 'gadgets' (cell phones) they are totally disingaged, from what should be their priority, their family around them, their children. How are kids that are brought up like that going to live, what are they going to become, what will the next generation be like? Children need the family aspect of life too, but when parents are too busy or are preoccupied with other things like their cell phone, children could be getting a different message, although it may seem like it doesn't affect them, we all know it most certainly does.
