I've been thinking a lot about this topic the last few years. I'm a recent LSU grad (fairly young), and I have noticed growing up in the last 5 years or so that people began to become obsessed with looking at their phones and checking social media

While on vacation recently I remember standing in line behind a girl who looked to be somewhere between 15-20 years old. We were in this line about 5-10 minutes. During that time she never once looked up at the world around her. Instead she repeatedly took pictures of herself, posting each on her Instagram or Snapchat or whatever. I kid you not, during our brief time in this line, I'd bet she posted at least 20 pictures of herself.
