Balance in a World Fighting for Attention

In our capitalistic society, businesses fail if they don't get your attention. Before the Internet, it was relatively difficult to gain the population's attention because of the difficulty in reaching a large audience. With the invention of the Internet, a company can literally reach almost the entire world for the price of a reliable server. This is remarkable. Now we have all these different companies and products all fighting for our attention in this dog-eat-dog world. Because of this, it is so easy to get sucked into one of these companies that fight for our attention. We often hear of people spending hours upon hours on social media sites like Facebook, or MMORPGs like World of Warcraft. If we can learn to moderate the time spent on these sites, our lives will be better off.
