social-media

So many likes and retweets for having the "GUTS"to say what every-one thinksONTHEFUCKINGINTER-NET(but never in the street).

The information superhighways will have the same effect as our present superhighways or motorways. They will cancel out the landscape, lay waste to the territory and abolish real distances. What is merely physical and geographical in the case of our motorways will assume its full dimensions in the electronic field with the abolition of mental distances and the absolute shrinkage of time. All short circuits (and the establishment of this planetary hyper-space is tantamount to one immense short circuit) produce electric shocks. What we see emerging here is no longer merely territorial desert, but social desert, employment desert, the body itself being laid waste by the very concentration of information. A kind of Big Crunch, contemporaneous with the Big Bang of the financial markets and the information networks. We are merely at the dawning of the process, but the waste and the wastelands are already growing much faster than the computerization process itself.

We are imperfect creatures created with egotistical defects, insecurities and an incomprehensible desire for perfection and the excessive use of social media feeds the raging fires within, most of the time adding salt to wounds we never knew existed and at times creating new ones.

People who smile while they are alone used to be called insane, until we invented smartphones and social media.

This is a new nonnegotiable: to feel safe, you have to be connected.

In his history of solitude, Anthony Storr writes about the importance of being able to feel at peace in one's own company. But many find that, trained by the Net, they cannot find solitude even at a lake or beach or on a hike. Stillness makes them anxious. I see the beginnings of a backlash as some young people become disillusioned with social media. There is,. too, the renewed interest in yoga, Eastern religions, meditating, and "slowness.

When all the people in the world become technology and technology becomes the people, we shall see a new world!

A fundamental approach to life transformation is using social media for therapy; it forces you to have an opinion, provides intellectual stimulation, increases awareness, boosts self-confidence, and offers the possibility of hope.

I think life is a lot different for alternative kids nowadays. Texting and the internet mean that being a Goth or something means you're part of a big social scene, it's an inclusive thing. Back then, we all just went our different ways in the afterglow,wishing each other all the best with the next ten years of bullying.

Living in the era of social media and dating apps, online dating is also a very popular dating method in England. It perfectly suits the English person__ superpower: being the invisible man or woman. They also like to keep their distance, and the internet is perfect for that. Also complimenting someone is easier online than offline; you don__ even have to say anything you just press a __ike_ or a __ink_ button and that__ it; perfectly suitable for romantically retarded people.

Being on Facebook as an Author and listing your books is like being a tiny single word in a giant dictionary! If people don__ search for you they don__ find you. They don__ take notice of you. They don__ even know you exist! Thats the hard reality of Socialmedia!

I'm a professional writer and I consider it part of my job to publicise my work and these days part of that job is done online.

It amazes me that we are all on Twitter and Facebook. By "we" I mean adults. We're adults, right? But emotionally we're a culture of seven-year-olds. Have you ever had that moment when are you updating your status and you realize that every status update is just a variation on a single request: "Would someone please acknowledge me?

I'm very aware we are the first generation ever to have such incredible opportunities to express ourselves publicly to a worldwide audience.

I believe that being able to communicate directly with readers is a boon. I certainly enjoy it as much as they do.

Understand your audience and you will understand the impact of your message on each follower in your social media networks.

Contradictions, in any communication, are the first stepping stones of mistrust

All of a sudden, we've lost a lot of control. We can't turn off our internet; we can't turn off our smartphones; we can't turn off our computers. You used to ask a smart person a question. Now, who do you ask? It starts with g-o, and it's no
