Another Postman Post? Um, Yes!

  Well, the deed is done and I have finally completed the Neil Postman assignment by summarizing every single chapter in Amusing Ourselves to Death. Yes, I am a procrastinator and I am proud to say so but in all seriousness it was an amazing book! However, I'm not going to lie I did sleep through it once or twice. (Sorry)
 I loved that Postman had so much to say about the whole technology problem. Who knew that a book made twenty- seven years ago could predict today's life so correctly? It made me think twice before hitting the hay a.k.a sitting in bed for a couple of hours while watching YouTube videos and/ or scrolling through my newsfeed on Facebook. Life has so much to offer us at this time in age, yet we choose to waste it on thought provoked activities such as scrolling through your media feed.
 What were your thoughts on the book? How did it affect your every day activities? Did it make you think several times before picking up the phone or remote?
