But so has this forum been for the last 21 years. I think a departure or boycott of social media might be a good idea. It won't go away, but it is too predominant. It's fun though, because of the ability to connect with people far away, and give voice to your thoughts and creative dreams and visions to more people. You tube was a great thing. So there's that, which those of us who grew up without this, appreciate. In those days, connecting with people long distance meant only an expensive phone call, or publishing something, or writing a letter and awaiting a reply.
Eric, when you say time waster, I hope you just mean that it uses a lot of your time, not that you really feel it is wasted. Why would you participate if there was no value? I think our discussions here and on the FB group are both meaningful.
