Well from the very outset Ive been deeply suspicious of the mass marketeering social media,and especially what it was becoming through the use of hand held devices. As time goes on many of the people who told me go away and put my tin foil helmet on when I was warning about privacy years ago ,have come back and said you were right all along . In the pre internet days when I grew up yes there was bullies too ,but Id say a more honest and upfront kind than faceless Judas backstabbers out there today. At least in the olden days you could counter a bullys words face to face ,or if they happened be into using their fists ,you give em your best shot and gain some respect back for yourself . In any event most of the time once school bell rang everybody went off in their various directions that was the end of it for the day .
I think with the advent of social media ,which is relatively new to all of us ,we've really unleashed a time bomb on the youth. Lack of guidance and appropriate rules from the elders has led to a pervasive attitude ,that well its 'online' anything goes ,its all fair game . Ive personally noticed this idea spreading itself back through generations that didnt grow up with the internet more and more now . You only have to ask teachers nowadays about the ill effects on the younger crowd ,dissatisfied dissaffected depressed, anxiety and panic attack stricken and medicated upto the eyeballs. Of course this trend is mirrored in other segments of the population too . There seems to be an ever increasing number of people out there who simply dont wont or cant interact with the people around them ,not even capable of making eye contact, self esteem shot to hell ,bodies bloated from bad diet, pills and little physical effort whatsoever. The lack of an outlet for feelings on a one to one level manifests itself in pack hate mentality online ,and so the downward spiral continues.
I for one am glad some of the polish is wearing off Mr Facebooks 'were embettering the planet' delusion ,the guy is away with the fairies. If he thinks he can push a few buttons and fix it ,like magic ,he's dreaming . Its evolved into a living breathing organism well beyond his control now , he's little more than an asset to various intelligence organisations and the person who's head is on the chopping block when it falls apart . It wont be long before the monopolies comission in various countries busts his s****y mess into tiny pieces, top sociologists and head doctors are also piping up about the serious public health issues arising from social media, technology,and the internet . The bell has tolled.
Were really lucky in here actually ,the generosity of spirit is way beyond anything Ive seen online ,full props going out to JR ,I'm on a completely different planet politically of course ,but you have allowed us the greatest latitude in terms of personal expression and shown good judgement when the hammer needed to come down .
