Social media

Is social media making us less social?

The " social media" generation biggest challenge is going to be how to harness this wonderful world of communication.

It is possible to never leave your home now to be entertained or to work or to converse with your friends and family. You can email, skype and tweet and post.

But is it healthy 24/7 ?

I think people still need human contact, face to face conversation and down time from any electronics. It is good to sit in quiet or just " listen".

People stare at their laptop or computer for approval or to show off or tell people off.
All unhealthy.

How to harness this power wil define the coming generations.
We need to use the internet as a tool not a replacement.

 Look up- get out- stop, look and listen.

Shakespeare said one time that Alcohol was a great modifier..If,you were mellow,it made you more mellow....If,you were an ASS...It made you a bigger ass....Social media is the same. I’ve seen guys who got involved and were fine,but,when the spotlight hits....INSTANT JERK...Lot of that recently...
