Nuclear physics revealed the energy contained in the atom, a boon to mankind's progress. But it also led to the nuclear bomb, hardly progress.

Digital technology has astounding benefits. But which category do we put the advent of social media? Is it progress for mankind or more in the category of the bomb?

Don't you have a smart phone?

This site is a doddle to use on a mobile, much more so, than the last one was.

I think social media has ruined people. The ones who do or say things for likes in particular... Everyone just wants to be the next big thing for not even accomplishing anything special; it's a popularity contest. Ick.

I can't deny at my age I am getting more and more technophobic lol

I can do what I can do, but I am very NOT intuitive over other stuff.

But that's why we have children......

That certainly is bizarre.

I used to be able to shut anyones soulseek off if they looked at my picture. It was actually not a picture, it was a link.

I got thrown off by the mod once he worked out what I had done. Before that, he said it was funny.

I remember I used a link for one of those funny browser pranks where it takes it over and makes it jump around.. and you have to try to close it out, but then it kept moving when you try to hover over the x LOL

I got banned from the gaming forum I was in because of it.
