This is the only place I am or ever have been involved with. I don't think social media is all bad or that it's bad in itself, but I do believe it has exceeded boundaries of it's original intentions, and that in many ways it does create more problems than it actually solves and causes more harm than good. A lot of that is just due to human nature...people love to push limits, break rules, and exceed boundaries (as well as take advantage of and abuse good things). I have no intention of ever dealing with facebook, I don't involve myself in twitter (or any other similar things)...I like the media in moderation and within limits, but there is such a thing as too much. I do remember what life was like before all of this, and though I don't necessarily wish to go back...I prefer to hold on to a lot of the ideals from back then.

I so agree with you. I [i]did[/i] grow up in an era without it or at least wasn't involved with it. I think it does more harm than good. There are a lot of studies out there on the negative effects. Moderation is the magic key.

Hi- I think we all suffer from what I heard referred to years ago as the "RC" factor- "Resistance to change". Have an Ipod/Ipad or cell phone? If you do, and you lose or misplace them, don't you feel "cut off" from the World? Social media is like many facets of our lives, something that can be a double edged sword.

I would like to have an electronics-free place to hang out, like a treehouse, anyone who wants to come up for a visit has to leave them behind

I grew up without social media. I could do without it easily now. It is purely a distraction for me. After my wife passes away, I doubt I'll have much interest in any kind of social media. I don't use Facebook or Snapchat or Twitter at all right now.

I [i]was[/i] born in a generation without it. For as distracting as social media can be - both in a good way and bad - it's completely unnecessary.

How much of the information you take in each day truly affects your life one way or the other?

I think you are right. Too many, young and old, sit at home with Facebook and sites like this and little or no other social contact.

This is the only site I use in that regard. I was already a mature adult when Facebook, Twitter and Snapchat came along. I don’t use them, and don’t feel like I’m missing out.

100%. Without social media, there'd be so much less self-consciousness and depression in the world.

I like it. It allows me to be my introverted self but stay informed on social happenings.

I deleted my Facebook. Felt like I was able to focus more on things and not be so distracted. Plus now I have to reach out too people directly when I want to see someone instead of posting or making an event. Now I just come on here for a month or two out of the year.

Sometimes yes. This is the only social media acct I have. Most of the time it's just a waste of time.

I didn't even had a cellphone when i was 18 and hookers were expensive too back in the day

Too many people would say yes to this. Social media is a very good thing.

no i have no friends and i'm terrified of real life this is the only way i can live!

Ofcourse and I got to,experience for many years 😊

Well, it was a different world.

I did and it was great
