Shunning Social Media

NO Social Media Mess    
I was amazed to see that Nick Cage, whom I've always considered to have little to nothing in common with me is hating on social media.

When I think of all the Netflix titles I've passed over because he was starring in them ...

Perhaps a rethink is in order.

There are social media executives who ponder the damage of social media on the brain of a child.

Apple's Tim Cook won't allow his preteen nephew near social media.

Then there is the question of 'net neutrality' in the mix and that juxtaposed existence on disparate networks resulting in lag or suffering performance just because of with whom you internetwork.

Couple this with the fact that social networking essentially has become that pablum for the uninitiated ... a platform for those who can't do anything else and there you have it.

I don't choose to be in that company.

Those subtle nuances which comprise the psychosocial intellectual muck which is that which makes it to various "feeds" lends credence to the fact that we are actually devolving as a species.

Instead of implementing our own presence we simply accept that which others provide along with the underlying control scripting which may be controlling much more the brain dead articles and pretty pictures and memes upon the screen.
