About This Quote

...we spend more time gazing at luminous screens than into the eyes of our loved ones. The bottom line is that the new generation is not living in a world that is built around relationships. Instead of establishing deeper bonds with their family, friends, and community, they are engrossed in social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, Tumblr, Pinterest, Snapchat, Instagram, Google+, Pinterest, Instagram etc. They are constantly on the go.

They are not slowing down to see their friends or family members face to face. Instead they are always on the move and only think about themselves.
