Worshipping Facebook?

In perek 19 passuk 4 we learned not to turn to or make idols. We cannot even put ourselves in the situation where we will possibly come to make idols. Since (Baruch Hashem) none of us are literally idol worshippers, I would like to make this passuk seem more relatable (which will also come along with a challenge).

Nowadays, we are all caught up in our phones, computers, and TV's. All of this is great for things like 21st Century Learning and collaboration, but it seems to be detrimental to our relationship with Hashem.

Think about it this way, do you know more about Tim Tebow's outstanding overtime game last night that gave the Denver Broncos a win over the Chicago Bears or about last week's parsha? Do you even know what this week's parsha is? Yet alone, what perek are we on in Chumash class? Do you read more articles from People magazine or perakim of Tehilim? Do you spend most of our vacation days on facebook forgetting to daven since we are not in school?

I think these are some of the many challenges that we face on a day to day basis. We don't intentionally mean to 'worship' our computer screens, but we still have to work on it. My question to you is how, as modern orthodox Jews, can we benefit from these revolutionary innovations without being caught up in its shananigans? It is these shananigans that worsen our relationship with G-d.
