"Half the shouting and social upheaval on the internet today comes from entrenched groups who are outraged to learn that their opinions and views are not universally agreed upon; the other half comes from those whose silence was previously mistaken for assent." That seems to imply social media is going to quiet down a lot after things shake out. I facebooked real hard in '09 or so. Was high traffic but it was an utter waste of time, like no positive effect on my life whatsoever despite a spectacular demand on my time, so I stopped and didn't miss it. Restarted this year because one of my kids is old enough to get an account and wanted to "friend" his dad, so how can I resist? I created a new account (had deleted the old one) and refriended a whole bunch of people and frankly FB is dying in terms of traffic compared to 5 yrs ago. I donno if its paranoia at being data mined or a lack of newness or its just had its time and is now done and over. During Roman triumphs, a slave would whisper in the ear of the winner that he was only mortal. Someone needs to whisper in the ear of all the social media folks that in the late 70s, 10% of all cars on the road had a CB radio. The CB experience is coming to social media, eventually, like it or not... Or going back a few more decades at one time virtually 100% of home entertainment electronics was based on radio reception...
