Exactly. No one is safe. Everyone I know in my age group (15-26) can not exist without opening up their smartphone every 5 seconds to check social media or watch YouTube.

There was a good documentary about this topic called The Social Network. You may have heard of it. I think it is a good starting point to this way of thinking.

Are you talking about the movie about Mark Zuckerberg? Because this movie is not bad, but it's definitely not a documentary.

Maybe the GP was thinking of the documentary/drama: The Social Dilemma
