7 Reasons the 21st Century is Making You Miserable

http://www.cracked.com/article_15231...miserable.html

I was doing some late night internet browsing, as I do most every night, and I came across an article that really struck a chord with me. It reads true and makes a lot of sense. The ironic thing is, it was written on a humor website, cracked.com, yet it is a very "real", very meaningful piece of writing.

If you haven't read it, give the link up there a click and let me know what you think about what is said within the piece. Does it ring true to you, or is it way off? How much of that piece can you identify with? I feel like everyone will find some bits of universal truth in what is written.

*Note* - I'm not trying to rip off www.cracked.com or promote the site, I just wanted to link a very interesting article and get some reactions from OS.

I've actually been thinking about some of these more and more lately, especially the heavy reliance of portable technology and the over-usage of texting as a form of communication. Its just unreal the amount of people texting anymore - go to any college campus and the vast majority of students will have their head down, looking at their phone with their thumbs going 90MPH texting.

And I agree with the all the filtering people are doing - I think thats why people are having so much stress and anger issues is that there aren't enough annoying people to help them build up a good tolerance level.

One thing I would add would be this obsessive, camping out craze that's been happening the past 4 or 5 years or so.
