Day of Information

This age marks the bright dawn of a new day of information brought about by diverse forms of media.  However, with the influx of mass media, how much time is spent in front of the television or computer screen?  In my experience, most of this is wasted on fruitless information.  The time exhausted on media has become detrimental for important social skills and the majority of this information is not actually being applied to our lives in a manner that brings about improvements.  Useful knowledge and technologies do exist, but the benefits of this information age might not actually outweigh the costs.  The clouds through which the rays of light had shone start to look darker and it begins to rain.  The proceeding rainbow is a mere facade for the ensuing flood that we are doomed to be caught in if we don't climb to higher ground and efficiently use this information.
