The Roman Empire. No, no, that’s Not right. What I meant to say was The Rise & Fall of Social Media Although to some Gen Zs, it might seem as though the same thing. It’s no secret that Social Media … Continue reading The Rise & Fall Of…
I want to end this week’s posts with some less crappy stuff. Even for these times, it has been a spectacularly crappy week. The current Oval Office occupant (#CO3) has outdone himself with his stupidity. That is evident since even … Continue reading The Less Crappy Stuff… SpaceX
Obviously the question in the title above is what this post is all about. Here is the definition of social media from Wikipedia. The biggies are obviouslly Facebook,Pinterest, Instagram, Twitter, with many other a little further down the line.

No, I am not one of those old people who is against everything invented in the last 20 years. Nor am I a person who spends the typical 2 hours a day clicking through my social media accounts. I am a user but only to a very limited degree. But, maybe even that is going to change. I certainly understand the importance of having instant communications between a diversity of people across the world. They say Facebook has brought people together. It has billions of users so that must be the case. My problem with social media is that there … Continue reading Giving Up Social Media?
Loneliness is something I feel I am an authority on, at least as a layman. There are several reasons for that, some of which I will get into later. The topic of loneliness was brought to my attention again by … Continue reading About Loneliness
It seems that at least for the last twenty months or so I have enemies who rant against my view of the world. They come at me with a “love it or leave it mentality. How dare I say some of the things I do. Will those who spew out all the hate via social media eventually destroy themselves as the quote here indicates? Hate is a self-consuming thing. It will eat you alive if you wallow in it too long and that seems to be what so many of the current ranters are doing They troll the Internet looking … Continue reading About Your Enemies… and Reconciliation
Maybe I should explain the title some more before I continue with the post. Yes, because of my Aspie traits and my isolation as a deaf senior citizen I don’t have as many friends as I had when I was in the corporate world. That is a fact that can’t be denied but it is not the point of this post. The point I am trying to make is that by Facebook standards my friends list is pretty abysmal. I think at last count I had about 40 “friends”. Some of them I don’t “follow” because they post multiple times … Continue reading I Don’t Have Many Friends — By Choice..
I will admit up front here that I have no idea of why the so-called social media is addictive to so many people, especially our younger generations. But then again due to my Asperger’s characteristics I am not really attuned to much of any form of social interactions. :) But that doesn’t keep me for chiming in on this issue. Growing up in the 1950s and 60s I was never aware of much social pressure in my life. I tended to live inside my own bubble and was just not that affected by what others thought of me. I did … Continue reading Instagram, Here I Come..
