problem is that, as a result of technology that now gives people the ability to avoid direct contact - which is VERY hard - instead relying on technology.xUT said:Totally agree.
Social media is out of control as anyone thinks their information is 'magically' hidden from the powers that be and they have full license to spread 'whatever' without recourse.
Even on this forum, if one would choose to post threats to humanity, be prepared for a knock at your door.
Yes, it does(did) have some merit to communicate ideas and information that did not previously exist, however, this 'asset' is now a liability as the noise level comes to a point that is nonsensical(useless).
As you probably already know, it is much easier for a person to promote hate and fear mongering when not speaking to a person face to face where twitter(IMHO) provides this gap.
When I post, I ask myself "Would you say that to the person face to face?"
I do my best to adhere to that rule. I think if everyone would consider this, it would greatly reduce the noise and internet bravado.

When either tough things or the best things need to be said, face to face communication is the best way to communicate.
The fact that so many people on this forum couldn't possibly say to their bosses what they write on here is a great example of how the internet has become escapist.
And many kids have been so desensitized by video games that they really no concept that communication matters - and has implications and consequences.
BTW, what is the latest on the US tweet?
