This entry is a long time in coming. Considering how many real-live conversations I've had concerning the topic, it's rather ironic that it's taken this long to get it online.
How/what is social media doing to us as human beings? There's always the question of technology itself, which is anything from pants to cars to blue tooths, and then there is social media. For now, I'm not interested in talking about technology and how's it's progressing our evolution (or not). For now, I'm focused on Social Media.
And, what isn't social now? News, music, fashion, everything I enjoy or am interested in, is connected to a vast network of like minded folks. I love finding music through my friends, getting inspired by dresses on pinterest. It's a tool, like our brains or knives or drugs. Result depends on intention and usage. SM can be used to bully, find love, build positive community, monitor suicide risk rates.
How do you use it?
