I often wonder if social media is the reason behind the dismal productivity gains we've seen in the last decade.
I think this is a really well thought article. I can sort of see the equivalent of The Insider in 20 years time, with Zuck at a congress hearing saying that 'social media' is not addictive.
- sjg007 9y agoFacebook, Reddit, hacker news.. all are addictive. I started with slashdot in 96/97? then Reddit, now hacker news. Twitter might be the same but I don't partake. The fundamental problem is you read yesterday's news instead of inventing the future.

I wish everyone hooked on social media to read this phrase every hour. I do, indeed, read HN, because it does offer some insights in the future. I had lots of ideas from the shared articles and associated comments.
