Hmm. You're reminding me of the quote that a person becomes the average of the five people closest to them. Well, if two of those people are Facebook and Instagram... yikes.

(BTW, I think the point of the bible verse you quoted is prayer, not just having your eyes open.)

That's a brilliant way of thinking about it. I'd say I honestly spend 80% of my free time (defined as time not spent working or sleeping) scrolling the internet mindlessly and passively. In that case, 4 of my 5 friends are the internet. I definitely have to change this ratio.
