The reality is that 90% of the populace of the United States is "Internet Addicted" we live in a society that craves new content, and we monetize ourselves in our data dependent lust. We have a society based on instant gratification that encompasses paying bills, ordering groceries, and receiving feedback from our "friends" based on our latest Facebook missives . I spend a great deal of my day time on the web because its part of my job, when I get home I try to divorce myself as much as possible from it, hence my low post count on Steemit and my total lack of presence on Facebook , Pinterst, and the host of other social networking sites.

How many people actually put down the phone , tablet or laptop when they go on break at work or get home to read a book, paint a picture or do a crossword ?

The facts are everyone is the pusher and everyone is the junkie in the world of the 24 hour news cycle and twitter feed.
