I think the main problem with the internet is that every idiot can and therefore will comment on everything, whether they know anything about the subject or not. That's what I love about blogging. You meet intelligent people who are really interested in getting to know everything, not what someone who thinks he's important is telling us.
I never even noticed that social media was down, so I must not be as bad as I thought. LOL I spend more time writing for my blog and definitely reading than being on social media. And I also have other interests, so no harm done if I have to live without it for a while.
I have a love-hate relationship with today's never-ending onslaught of information. Constant news, always breaking (though sometimes that's an overreach!); social media. My only social media is FB (well, and the blog). I spend a lot of time with the blog but very little on FB -- I check birthdays and do a quick scan, maybe post if there's something to put up. But I hear of people who spend hours surfing the internet, not for research, but because they fall in and can't get out. That's not healthy. I'd rather read. Or paint. Or DO something!
