I’ve often said that one of the worst inventions was the smart phone, but I think social media has a lot to explain for itself as well. I was discussing this with the wifey the other day, saying how Instagram seems to be one of the few that people are still actively turning to (and I guess TikTok?). Both of those platforms really blur the definition of “social” media. It doesn’t seem like they’re widely used to communicate with people they know (vaguely or otherwise), but rather give this faux connection with celebrities, causes or anything else that some people seem to deem as “important.”
