leverage tools better
loren's Life before social media ends with this paragraph:
I'm not saying we need to go back to the Commodore 64 era - technology has brought amazing things too. But social media as it exists today? It's not making us happier, smarter, or more connected. It's doing the opposite, and I think more people are starting to realize it.
People can become happier, smarter, or more connected by using any tool. Social media, personal computers, news papers and broadcasts, etc. They can also become unhappier, dumber, or less connected by using such tools. The more they use them well or poorly, the more amplified their effects become. Which camp are you striving toward, if not inhabiting as we speak? That said, abstaining from any tool as best as you can is also an option. Good luck with whatever methods you employ to leverage tools for your betterment.
