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.

They're not the "reason"; that mob mentality has always existed. In the past it meant literal mobs showing up at one's door with a rope or tar and feathers.

I agree, the mob mentality has always existed but back in the days it was not too much of a problem because people were to afraid to express their thoughts too much because they didn't know if other people felt the same way and was scared people would turn THEM.

However because of Technology and social media (mainly) people are not scared to express their dark side and also its easier to get into the mob mentality when you think your anonymous.

Also going into the future, am starting to see the raise of "fake news/information" where it's hard to tell if that's true and what's fake..
