Sex, Drugs, The Internet, and a Reflective Finale

Abstinence for Internet Junkies

We all have our own unique addictions when it comes to our internet use. For me this usually takes the form of repeated refreshing of my Twitter feed, watching any and all stories on my Snapchat, or plummeting down a rabbit hole of useless YouTube videos about random topics that…

Fake News and Twitter Trolls

The Internet: Ellis Island or Primary Address?

In many ways, the internet has revolutionized social interaction, but not in the same way or to the same extent for all people. We all have friends who can’t eat dinner without having their phone on the table (or we are those friends), but we also have older relatives who…
