The psychology of social media: Can a visible brand ruin your life?

The fallacy of social media: The so called social media is nothing more than a nice way of collecting persona information without braking laws.

Social media should be called anti-social media. What more anti-social behavior than wasting time in front of a computer instead of socializing in person or on the phone with people. And please, don't try to come up with the cheap excuse of not having time .... if you have time to wast on a computer, you have time to call a REAL friend.

What more anti-social behavior than pretending to be someone you are not and lying to your so called friends??

The so called social media are teaching people and kids anti-social behavior and replacing inter-personal and communicational skills with a fake interface in a useless virtual world.

Everything just to get your personal info and selling it to the highest bidder.; Posted by: wackoae Posted on: 07/19/09 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
