My opinion: the "problems" you're describing are actually symptoms of the real problem.
My opinion: the real problem is moral corruption, and a lack of genuine leadership. Selfishness as a virtue? I dont think leadership and charisma translate well to the digital platform, I think leadership is an analog process, you've got to be able to read the room, but we dont get into the same rooms anymore, we discuss politics on facebook and twitter. Grandpa can't teach his grandchildren how to behave if the children only talk to Grandpa on Facetime. Our communities are missing the human connection - a necessary connection if we're going to cooperate to fix our society.

I agree our problems are moral corruption and the shamelessness of it now. I don't mean moral corruption in the sense of sex, I mean moral corruption in the sense of greed and money. I think our institutions have been corrupt for a lot longer than social media has been around.
