On this Wednesday, a new survey from Optimum says the average American spends 10 hours a day on devices.

That's troubling, but there's no combating it. The lure of instant access is overwhelming. The high-tech diversion is changing everything because people can now create their own worlds and rarely venture out of them. The device is always available. It never rejects you. It soothes, reassures, reinforces whatever your pursuits are, even if the pursuits are evil. It is becoming apparent that many of us are watching, not doing.

There is no challenge, no quest. It is all contrived. Fewer human beings are reading books because that takes time away from the device. We meet people in cyberspace, not face-to-face in a physical place. We can shut out anything negative. We become passive, lazy. The devices are so addictive, some folks cannot stop using them, especially the young'uns. They make it easy to be cruel, to avoid confrontation, to learn how to handle yourself in complicated situations. You can become dependent on constant stimulation. Your life shrinks into a social media bubble. You become a spectator to life. If you understand the danger, you must control the devices rather

than surrender to them. I hope you do it. Back in a moment. No Frills delivers. Get groceries delivered to your door from No Frills with PC Express.
