A “Keep Calm And Carry On” variation
It's upsetting that the meaning behind this shirt is so skewed these days...reminds me of the "straight out of hamptons" shirt we looked at in class

problem child
I took child psychopathology fall term and my class examined her and if we were to psychologically diagnosis her, we'd diagnose her with oppositional defiance disorder; a disorder characterized by a defiance to authority.

where we agree to put our gadgets in a box while we talk to one another?
My family recently started doing this. My sister, dad, and I have to put our phones on silent on the kitchen counter while we eat.

He is speaking in neither.
I'm confused why he added so much history into this article just to get the point across that silence is hard to come by these days?

That’s why we text and drive
Just wrote a paper on this in my psych class...so interesting how all my classes fit together this term!

GPS, for example, is a godsend for finding our way around places we don’t know. But, as Nicholas Carr has noted, it has led to our not even seeing, let alone remembering, the details of our environment
I have been lucky enough to have a very good sense of direction. Once my phone takes me to a place once, I can get there on my own without it again. However, other people are not as lucky (my roommate) and rely on very simple directions from the phone to get places. A paper map just doesn't seem practical for those people who need constant directions anymore.

no longer primarily by buying a magazine or paper, by bookmarking our favorite website, or by actively choosing to read or watch. We are instead guided to these info-nuggets by myriad little interruptions on social media

For why would I accept your fact-checking if I do not trust the good faith and competence of your testing procedures? What is needed, then, would be a meta-fact checker, an institution that examines whether the fact-checking institutions can be trusted!
The whole fact checking argument reminds me of an SNL skit about Fox and Friends where the fact checked list at the end of the "show" was just line after line of outrageous fake facts (ex: Pigs cannot fly etc.). It was very funny to me at the time but now the sketch seems real and it is scary.

for practicing “violence on innocent people with a different point of view”.
The riot got out of hand but they were expressing their feelings about Yiannopoulos' harmful viewpoints

In this way, citizens can make informed choices at the polls. Without these institutions – and, just as crucially, without belief in their integrity – democratic self-governance would be impossible.
