I personally think places like Facebook are great. I can easily sift through all of the mind-control, conspiracy theories, and fear mongering. However, it's the majority of people (who are stupid lemmings) that social media becomes a brain-rotting, death trap.
For me, it's like having the knowledge of the library of Alexandria, in the palm of you hands.
For the mouth breathers, they still think it was a missile that hit Florida yesterday.
