Sunlight, playing in the puddles, finding own fun, bare feet in the summer, looking into peoples eyes and having the ability to read people, dancing till it hurts to the bone but still having fun, creating own fun with friends you know, Friday night adventures, random walks, picking up something and learning how to do it or what you could make out of things.
Social media will kill a childhood very quickly, too.

Very interesting question. Everyone are jumping to social media now because that is where people are hanging around.
With the ease of acquiring information, many are highly dependent on their gadgets to retrieve the info they required.
Users are no longer browsing the web to find what they want. Social sites are now a popular platforms to amplify their unhappiness and complaints.
Social media has not disconnect us from reality yet. Reality seems more obvious as the info seems very vivid and clear in front of our eyes.

they keep people from interacting with each other

they prevent people from sharing their achievements, hence discouraging them from achieving anything

they make it hard to share information about important issues
