Old enough to remember a world that was only connected by pen, paper & stamp, or rotary dial phones, I can assure the younger generations that "Social" Media has completely kicked the legs out from underneath meaningful and productive human relationships and interactions. A lengthy treatise lamenting the obliteration of human decency, kindness, and bi-directional respect, while tempting to pursue here, would be lost on the poor souls that can do no better than anonymous snark, feigned outrage, and disingenuous hyperbolic bloviation. A more productive approach to articulating the pros and cons of the double-edged sword which now defines our systems and methods of human interaction and discourse, it seems to me, would be to consider how this new human dynamic might yet be put to some positive, life-improving purpose.
