               go to the hospital.
                   In that very same year, deaths as  the result of
               traffic accidents exceeded 40,000.  But people still
                                                43
               get in their cars every day. In fact, over 4.7 million
               “death machines” were purchased that very year.
               Crazy right?
                   Heart disease, claims an average of  647,000
               American lives each and every year.  That comes out
                                                 44
               to 1,772 deaths per day. Why aren’t you filled with
               fear over your pending death soon to be caused by
               heart disease every time that you go out to eat?

               The sad truth is that we are currently living in

               a digital dystopia where people simply cannot
               seem to put their smartphones down. Remember,
               the average American spends over eleven hours
               consuming media in front of a screen of some kind
               each and every day. Push notifications interrupt us
               over eighty times in a given day as well. So, it is safe
               to say that the modern human being is extremely
               well connected to the world around them. However,
               this  level  of  connection  is  also  directly  impacting

               our current situation.
                   We are living in the era of misleading headlines
               and published articles that are not fact checked
