I'm not on social media. It's more like, idk, what you deal with living in modern society. And it doesn't matter if you are connected or not if everyone else around you is. If there's a Twitter organized revolution happening around you, ignoring it might be harmful.
At no point was I reminiscing about good old days, and my argument is actually very orthogonal to that statement.

- adamnemecek 8y agoAt that point it will be too late to prevent it tho.
- ryandrake 8y agoYou’re going to prevent a Twitter-organized revolution by... being on Twitter?
- adamnemecek 8y agoNot prevent, runaway from it.
- ams6110 8y agoIt's not just social media. Everything was slower. If you wanted to learn about something, you had to take a class, or go to the library or bookstore and find some books. There was no Google, no Wikipedia, no Reddit. In some sense this limited what you could accomplish but it also made you think about investing time and everything was overall more deliberate. Now, there's no going back, but you can still choose to live your life at a slower pace. The world is only a blur if you choose to ride the merry-go-round.
