in generations to come? Positive, negative or total destruction and why do you feel the way that you do? Just wondering about others perspective on this subject.

People will start putting OT and Facebook degrees on their resume.

And it will be accepted.

Why do you hate freedom?


The faster spreading of information and ideas is a net positive for humanity.

We had this discussion earlier. The verb is affect 9 times out of 10. This is one of those nine times

I have started using it in my texting language with friends, and they have slowly adapted. Too many baws in this world for it not to catch on.

To answer your question, I think it's a mixed bag. If used properly it could be a great tool for exchanging ideas. However both are currently used to reinforce what people already believe, leading to increased polarization.

I'd say overall negative if things continue as they are.

Usually, when someone just quotes like that, they are pointing out a mistake. No worries

You were clearly trying to imply that it wasn't.

Forums can be a good way for shy people to express themselves. However, trolls and internet try hards make social media unbearable at times.

Also, Facebook can really suck if you are feeling depressed and browsing through photos of awesome things that other people are doing. It's easy to forget sometimes that people almost exclusively only post happy moments on there, and are likely just as miserable as you are.

One possible positive(or for alot of us negative) of leaving a digital legacy is that your progeny will be able to get a sense of you were and what your thought were on current events.
