Social network and Society

Is our society is doomed to lose it values because of social network?
No. People have been whining about how the new thing will destroy civilization as far back as the Roman Republic.
@Hougal Well, alot of things that seems like a big deal at the time often ends up being a fad on a long enough time liine.

And people have a tendency assuming the worst.

And stuff that is really revolutionary like computers and the internet were seem as pointless toys and only useful to nerds and academics respectively.

And even stuff like the internet is not all good or bad and are a mixed bag just like the printing press.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Well said... As you said it, it's a mixed...
People don't have tendency to assuming the worst... Everyone, even people that assuming only the worst part of those new technologies are consciencious of the good side of them... But the problem is that these stuffs have more bad side than good side as repercussion on humans life.

In the history, human have tendency to abuse when they find something good or benefits for their life... It's in the human nature!!! So these people that have tendency to assuming the worst as you said want to warn people!!! It's what I think!!!
@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow and new things have destroyed a lot! We as really can't stop the ownership. They're revolutionary.

We're doomed to losing face to face socialising skills if we're not careful. The good old art of good company and conversation in the flesh.

Only if you deal with Americans (and some of them are OK)😷

@whowasthatmaskedman I love your answer! But the majority are affected

@Hougal I am not saying you are wrong...But the problem is knowing which majority..Americans are so fractured as a society that each person can be part of several majorities and a few other minorities all at once..It isnt just black and white (to mention a couple of the minorities.)😷

@whowasthatmaskedman I understand you perfectly... But I don't mean Black or white

I once read a story written by a woman from Sudan who said her grandmother said the TV was going to be the ruin of their community.
Why, because she said that before the TV they would gather around the village in the evenings and talk to each other and tell stories.
Now she said people gather and watch that box and dont talk to each other anymore.
I remember my best times as a child was listening to my grandparents tell their stories.

@Adrift She is right!!! Many value is losing
First we have to define those values and some of them are almost universal (thou shall not kill, etc), but if you really listen to what people value from different cultures, they are unique? We will lose some, unfortunately. When culture becomes homogenized, eventually the minority is lost.

Social media is privately owned and meant to do that.
Socialism would change that, you'd have to establish a public Internet. Lolz. Right. It's impossible for killers to be what they're not.
