Don't Look Now

For these folks, the mental decline may already have begun.
While there are many troubling examples of society's collective sinking intellect, the rise of the "selfie" is surely a leading contender. Despite all the professed yoga-meditation-locavore bullshit rampant among the younger generations, it seems that these days all they really crave is a great Facebook profile shot. 

I often say, only half-joking, that if the revelers at Woodstock had been in possession of iPhones nobody would have seen the show. So I was not at all surprised to read that according to several psychiatrists, the obsessive taking of selfies--trying to get one that looks just right--can cause mental illness, and may even lead to suicide.

Ha! I've always thought those smart phones were dumb.
