Is social media and technology ruining society?

[jac the hat]

I think we might well have reached Durkheims stage of anomie where meanings have leached out of daily life - Apparently we are in the post modernist era where we would expect to know nothing maybe people feel some reassurance despite their fear for having something in their pocket which can connect them to something that feels safe- We are a risk averse society and yet the risks keep piling up and we are less happy than when we were at war or post war building up the country - Its weird I dont like it and have never owned a mobile phone - I hate how they make everyone so uncaring of what is here and now in order to focus on something far away - It smells of fear.
