I was thinking the same thing. Sad that we’re gearing ourselves more toward this invasive privacy-sucking form of communication, but many kids these days (25 and under) are so entrenched in social media that they’d be lost without it.

Like cell/smart phones a decade ago and computers before them, we’re seeing the new popular technologies take hold and drag us along with them.

Actually, they're lost WITH it. I have several young relatives and their personal skills leave a lot to be desired.
At family gatherings, it's not unusual to see them isolated in various corners of the house with their noses stuck in their cell phones instead of interacting w/ family.
And if you're lucky enough to find one who's "come up for air", talking to them is like pulling teeth.

Seems to be 50% being oblivious to privacy concerns...and 50% exhibitionism.
