Do we need social media?

The answer will always be NO.

No one on their deathbed wishes and said they wasted more time on it.

I may not wish I would have spent more time on it but I more than likely will have wished I had met and talked to more people. Talking to people, while in today’s climate being kinda shit, helps you grow as a person.

I think being present and listening to people also helps.

Social media will eventually go the way of the tamagotchi. Who the hell wants another creature to feed?

I want my tombstone to reflect that I spent most of my life on social media and list them all starting with Friendster

Not MySpace?

Exactly!

In a fiat world, it might be good for business. As a user where you are the product...it's a losing proposition. Perhaps in ways we won't fully comprehend for another generation or two.

I’m fortunate to have been born before social media and smart-anything and I very much would like to personally revert to those times. Noise reduction and less time-suck makes for a simpler life.

If you find that Stargate, count me in and send me the address. I'd be all for it.
