> The final straw for me was finding myself angry about the vague opinions of people I don't really care about at all.

I laughed when I read this because I've replaced browsing Twitter while eating breakfast with reading my local newspaper. Today I was so upset by what I read in the paper, the feeling stuck with me all morning. In my head I composed several "letters to the editor" and only now am I finally moving on. I won't write those letters, but I probably would have engaged with that content on Twitter. I don't know what this means, but being outraged at the news is not exclusive to new media.
