“It’s weird that people seem to think that posting things on social media has a positive effect on the problems that disturb or threaten them. It’s not that it »never does, or can’t… there are exceptions where it at least partly works. But, in general, it almost always fails to resolve the issue… and most often directly contributes to its propagation. That’s a strategy that breeds disasters…
This is the irony of the ‘para-connectivity’ provided by technology, and it suggests that the seeming ‘convenience’ that technology delivers may be lethal, in the sense of ‘causing us to forget’, as well as producing (often deadly) consequences we are not yet trained to see or understand.”
