Agree that reflection and contemplation is important.
Likewise, writing your thoughts out is also powerful and sometimes, being forced to edit your point down to one or two 140 char snippets is not such bad thing either.
Similarly, being exposed to the views of people you would likely never meet in pre-internet/social media times is no bad thing either IMHO.
"Everything in moderation" and "Variety is the spice of life" are aphorisms that persist for a reason.
- miloshadzic 10y agoWe were writing out our own thoughts before the internet and also cutting the length down(see graffiti, sms). Being exposed is not the same as being constantly bombarded with new content. By the way, you're not really being exposed to that differing views as Google, Facebook, etc are putting you inside a bubble filled with things you like. Moderation is hard when companies are working hard to make you use their tech as much as possible (more looking, more clicking -- more money).
