If Einstein had social media, we probably wouldn’t have the theory of relativity today — Over the last several weeks, I feel like I’m constantly on the move. In fact, it’s probably been like that for the last several years. We rarely ever find time to ourselves anymore with the advent of cellphones, and the internet.
