Do you think that technogy and social media are the reason for most the problems in the world?

Technogly has done a lot of good, I understand that but do you think that we are too connected and that some social media have lead to the "mob mentality" making it harder for those who disagree on any one thing to voice their thoughts without being "jumped" by others who just go with what the majority thinks.

No. It has caused some problems and complicated others, but I don't think they're the cause for "most" problems.

Human greed and and lack of understanding and acceptance of eachother might take the cake for "cause of most problems".

The problem you mentioned definitely exists and needs a solution though. Our inability to disagree and discuss without starting shit is as old as humanity, and social media has been a double edged sword thrown in the mix.

I think technology is growing faster than our ability to use it responsibly. :p

I like that answer! I also agree to a point. Some people would argue that human greed is also a double edged sword because though out history great men ("or women" for people who are easily offended lol) have thrived for the forbidden/impossible which lead to huge advances for all of us. I understand some of them did some bad things but over all we as humans advanced beyond our wildest dreams because of our greed and curiously.

Having said all of that I think that we are at a point where we are so connected and monitored that we can't express our true selves without instantly having millions of people hating on you. I think that stopping people from doing anything new or different from the "normal" which leads to... hate
