In my opinion social media is one of the biggest threats to the fiber of our society today. The elimination of human contact, reduction to arguments to a finite number of characters, and the narcissistic reduction of profiles to a virtual highlight reel provide nothing positive to humanity as a whole. I think it has reduced our ability to have nuanced discussions of issues, instead people choose sides and jump to snap judgements as opposed to understanding and discussing the other side of an issue. While I don’t think I politically agree with Supe I would be thrilled to sit down over a beer and discuss issues, even if I don’t agree with him. The lack of respect for both sides of an issue is in my opinion a byproduct of the ADD aspect of social media and slowly destroying civil discourse. But that’s just my opinion....
