The most relatable Millenial Youtube Video 

Technology has become one of the biggest blessing's the human race has ever received, but as Millenials and Generation Z, the first generations to only be alive with cell phones in and around their presence, we are seeing some extremely scary negative societal effects. Baby's are now glued to an Ipad before they turn 1 turning it into a mental glue that forms an addiction in the most critical time in a person's life. Communication skills have decreased significantly and depression and anxiety levels have surged in the opposite direction. This has led to trends like high turnover rates for new highers coming out of college and a from a management perspective a constant annoyance that employees cannot seem to detach from their devices. 

In my opinion, phones and the development of social media has become so misused at this point, just like seen in the video, it is turning us into a society of addicted, un-independent sheep that would be lost without our devices. Instead of using these platforms to promote individuality it has become a place for many of jealousy and regret. The sad part it is, most of the things on social media that people long so hard for are fake. Social media allows people to feel engaged with the people they want to be around, the lives they want to live, and the sports cars they want to buy, but at the end of the day while they are spending all their time aimlessly staring at it through a screen, a few special people are out actually working towards getting closer at those goals. 

As a Millenial myself, it was scary to watch this animated video because the words "facts, literally, and so true" uncontrollably kept coming out of my mouth. If you don't think you are addicted I have one test to prove to you that you are wrong:

Go to your most used social media account and delete it from your phone. How many days does it take you to stop unconsciously opening and going to that spot in your phone to click the app even though you know you deleted it. For so many, it has become so ingrained in us it has become a form of muscle memory without us even realizing. Something needs to change because at this point we are prisoners to our phone.
