Based on news and information available today my contention is that the rise of social has done more harm than good. Connecting with people you knew in 4th grade or admiring your friend or neighbor's spouse surreptitiously or openly because they have a 'hot' anatomy are hardly worthy pursuits. But combine with human ego and the desire to chase vanity the catastrophic consequences on people's well being - mental, physical, financial and moral are far reaching.
The businesses that thrive as a result of directly or indirectly producing software or platforms to fuel this narcissistic human urge to boast and strut are harming the very customer that they claim to service.
Clearly capitalism has created many hydras before and this is not its last rodeo.
Some observers are optimistic about the new generations and their desire to change this world order. But the jury is out on whether the lame, fly to the ointment crowd that finds tik-tok or its many global avatars insatiable or creating and trading an even newer synthetic currency so many bag holders can go bankrupt; versus those standing up for a fight against climate change or genocide or female infanticide or corruption at all levels of all sorts of businesses and government as an example win the day.
