Social media. That’s what happened.
“Social media. That’s what happened.”
Yes, I think that was a major influence in the downgrading and of reasoned, public discourse. It gave millions of people an opening to blurt emotional, juvenile crap at each other from a distance, and created voids in normal human interaction. It killed actual conversation. A room full of people will all be staring at thier phones. That’s a massive disconnect in what used to be community. Kids play video games. They’re not outside working through social issues in what used to be normal play or social activities. This has to be affecting human relations in a radical way.
