Generations in the Social Media Era
#2
At 63, and nearly broke, I am likely to spend the rest of my miserable life in a community that I have outgrown except for finances. Thyis is America, and money is everything. Those who have it can indulge themselves like sultans. Those who lack it are the victims of those who live like sultans.

It is unlikely that I will get to reconnect to old friends that I had in California or Texas, so the best that I can hope for with social media is to vicariously meet complete strangers who might have something to share other than the banalities of small-town life.

A perspective: I was born closer to the horse-and-buggy era than to today. Unfortunately I was brought up among people still thinking as if it were still the horse-and-buggy era whose only accommodation to modernity was to technology, and then only for materialistic ends.

The only positive for me is that as a male, the numbers are in my favor. Asperger's makes me a difficult match.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist  but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
