We live in a time considered to be the “Age of Distraction”, although this age has many opinions on the effects it has on the people. Technology seems to be the main point of discussion when coming to terms with “distraction”.

since the 1950’s. Looking at this graph published online on the Gallup Poll website, Public Trust in Government: 1958-2014, America’s trust in the Executive Branch has steadily fallen from 70 percent down to 20 percent over the past 56 years (Pew Research Center, 2014).
