There is Mean World Syndrome[0] which can occur when you're constantly exposed to the news, and social media just exacerbates it, and feeds off our fear-based response. Just limit yourself to it, and there are even news sites that talk about all the positive things happening in the world, so read them instead. Technology is being abused, yes, but it has incredible potential if used right, and we need to teach people how to approach technology, not just leave them vulnerable and exposed. The Internet is this enormous rabbithole to get lost in, and we have to train people to navigate it, and be skeptical of all the disinformation and scams out there. Even savvy people get hacked and scammed, because they think they're invulnerable to various attacks. Education is key here.
