I would like to share an article with all of you that I find particularly interesting. It is entitled, ‘7 reasons the 21st century is making you miserable‘. (It’s kind of old, but I was yet again reminded of it’s brilliance today.)

I would go so far to say that the people at JUICE spend a large amount of their time online and thusly can relate to the benefits and the drawbacks of having a large portion of your lifestyle dedicated to the digital space. I frequently joke about how I ‘hate the internet’…and at times I do. I also love it. I think a large part of the reason I love this article so much is because in the advertising world we are constantly trying to find the positive connections that the internet gives us. As advertisers, you have to constantly be optimistic about where our digital lifestyle is taking us. I would often find myself sitting in a brainstorm unable to focus on the discussion because I was too distracted by the elephant in the room: The 21st century is making us miserable. This article talks about just that. I have always been a fan of the writers at Cracked.com and think they have done a wonderful job on this one as well.

For the record, I don’t think this is the only argument as to why the internet is good or bad. I think there is a lot more content out there proving that it is good. However, I do think that this article does a great job of summating the bad in one fell swoop. Enjoy at your own discretion.
