It's not a good thing OR a bad thing. It's different. The sad thing is that a culture of real sharing (not 'social media' sharing, but actual sharing of knowledge, life experiences, and ideas) has been traded for a place that anyone can find any piece of information they could ever want, and contact any person they could ever want.
I think both have very high merit, and can't really be compared. It's not a 'good thing' that we've transitioned from one to the other, it's just a change that the old guard has to deal with.
- krapp 11y agoI think you're discrediting 'social media sharing' a bit too much - that is where people share their actual knowledge, experiences and ideas. Granted, some of those people are my mother and her COPD support group, but social media is not entirely vapid and not to be dismissed for its cultural relevance. Even setting that aside - there are billions of people online, and (quick google) almost a billion websites. That's not a culture, that's a continent. You can't encompass something like that in so simple a narrative.
