It amazes me that people think that the "tool" such as guns, bulldozers, nuclear power, etc affect social development the same as social media.

People are more concerned with other people than themselves

I get what you're saying but stop ignoring the outlet the internet gives you. It's way more powerful than any of the things you listed.
I'm not ignoring it. Its just a pointless conversation. My entire point is people are shitty. And we shouldnt demonize useful tools because people can do shitty things with them. Not only is it a pointless conversation, its detrimental. For one you are not addressing the actual cause of things. And secondly, that conversation could stifle progress of a useful tool due to fear based on faulty logic.

People are awesome. The vocal few make most of the noise.

Yeah FB reminded me of how stupid at least half of the people I went to school with really are.
If you are not a semi retard you can figure out how to delete and hide the idiots on your Facebook.
Anyway the OP sounds like a grumpy old geezer who has shite his britches too many times today and doesn't like life in general.

No one is questioning the usefulness of the internet. It single handily changed retail.

Not quite as old as you might think. I am, however, very aware of the negative trend on social development due to social media

Put the phone and Facebook down and get outside, go fishing, golf, or read a book.
Boom... you won't be narcissist with ADD.

I agree, I saw the meme for it

I live in the real world. I don't need a Facebook or Instagram.

If I don't have atleast 3 likes within a 35 min period (10 min on SelfieSunday) of posting a FB status then I automatically delete my status. Nothing is more humiliating than posting a FB status & not getting any likes or comments.

It has given a bigger stage for the dumb, uneducated sector of people in our country. Used to, the only place they'd show up is on your local 5:00 news broadcast interviews. Now they have a sense of importance and are all grouping up to elect people like Hillary, Obama, and Trump.

I think people are awesome AND shitty. Not that there are awesome people and shitty people. The same person can be both awesome and shitty. And that applies to everyone on earth. Including me and you.

Old lyrics, still apply.
looking into the lives of others can be a curse. You generally only get part of the information.
quote:
But don't be fooled by the radio
The TV or the magazines
They show you photographs of how your life should be
But they're just someone else's fantasy
So if you think your life is complete confusion
Because you never win the game
Just remember that it's a Grand illusion
And deep inside we're all the same.
