Could we make something good from social media?

”Social media” stopped being useful or fun a long time ago.

It turned into an addiction.

As a former cigarette smoker, for over 30 years, I remember what addiction is.

I didn’t quit until it was almost too late. And even then I needed help to do it.

You can know something is killing you and yet you keep doing it.

If we’re going to keep doing this at least let us speak with people who mutually care about each other, who listen instead of talking over each others’ shoulders to an audience we imagine is there, but isn’t.

How would we create something like that?
