Agreed. The genie isn't going back into the bottle. While connecting with that world has lots of downsides, it is also incredible and fascinating. Humanity does some amazing things, has amazing people, and social media does give us lots of glimpses of others.

The anti-social networking anti-online people need to do a lot better than their useless squalid whining & saying we should turn it off & touch grass instead. Get a little more creative than that, find something less than the polemic version to advocate for.
