so reliant on the internet and technology

So, yesterday in class my professor was lecturing on how we are so reliant on the internet and technology. We have twitter where you can just keep updating what you are up to and what you are doing. We have facebook where we look at other people's profiles and pictures and comments to each other. We are so reliant on these internet activities. It takes us away from other human to human contact and distracts us from other things we could be doing.

I am the first to admit that I am always on my fb/twitter, i even just got a tumblr. They are the biggest thing that distracts me when i should be studying. I take little breaks on facebook and update my twitter. but why? why are we always so addicted? I should change but im pretty addicated. that is why i really would not want internet on my phone. I dont want to always be on my fb or twitter. i already text soo often the internet will just take up more time. the invention of the internet may have been seen as a good thing but at the same time i can see it as a horrible thing that takes away from humanity.
