In this article, the author, Madison McLaren describes the idea that social media has gone too far and now is "controlling our lives". The posts that are constantly made are meant to show the memorable moments of our lives, but they now come off as hiding our real emotions and only expressing happiness. The article states, "The problem is that people are more focused on capturing a moment rather than enjoying it." Social media has people too engaged in bragging about their lives to others, rather than living their life for themselves. McLaren suggests that, "Perhaps it is time for us to step away from our screens and escape this fabricated competition."
