Social media addiction

a good hit of coke and a shit hot guitar lick does the same thing.

 

People are losing very important Social Skills and losing the very important elements of Human Interactions.
Patients is vanishing and is being replaced with Instant Gratification.

 

This probably started with television, maybe even radio.

 

And with American Oligarchs brain washing, people without rational critical thinking skills, will fall into cults Ike Q anon, Heavens Gate or MAGA.
It's a double edge sword .
It can also inflict ignorance on people who are susceptible to willingful ignorance.

 

I am not sure what one calls addicted to social media but I do not go on facebook or the other platforms but I am addicted to about 4 sites like hipforums and spend hours during a day on them.

 

As long as you have rational critical thinking, you'll empower your self from Corporate / Oligarchic manipulations, like the MAGA/ Q anon / Evangelical brainwashing .

If social media including message boards gets people writing, then it gets them thinking, is that such a bad thing?

 

No................but atm with mainstream "'social"media and mainstream media picking it up(even worse).........and making so much non issues, a big thing.

You and me are older.........but kids these days grow up with the wrong "'social" media, smartphones,24/7.....getting bombarded with right/wrong info/news/ect.....dont get me started on commerce/data/money. The internet is a good thing, communication/entertainment/information/interaction...........current mainstream"social" media, just clouds that so much.Society as hole rely s to much on the hole internet.........imo*sigh*




I accept thats just the way it is(evolution)......but.......I want the old interwebz back
