I typically check my Facebook account 1 X a year even if I don't need to , I think social media is a very destructive thing, and psychologists agree that social media and that damn like button is turning the Internet into a popularity contest that is having very negative effects on the younger generations, the Internet does provide incredible learning opportunities if people take advantage of them, unfortunately the trends towards the social media circus is dwarfing that aspect in favor of the instant validation and being able you say whatever you want , I cautioned my girlfriends daughter about the saying whatever comes to mind, in my day we talked trash about teachers and classmates in the stalls of the bathroom, and over summer break the janitors would literally wipe the slate clean by painting it , with social media it's all backed up and accesible for the rest of eternity, and anything you say due to misinformation of a young eager angry mind can come back to haunt you, go ahead say it i am no fun, put your much thought into things.
