How materialistic have we become?

Today I passed a girl in the hallway heading towards a presumable friend who had tears falling down her cheeks, clearly in pain.

The girl walked up and the first thing that came out of her mouth was, "How could you kill our snapchat streak? Are we even friends?"

I wanted to yell at her, on the spot, because hello? Your friend is crying and you're accusing her of losing a streak?

What kind of fake world do we live in that causes us to be blinded to true emotion by such unimportantly artificial things? How materialistic have we become?
