We can all agree that social media has many drawbacks, but instead I would like to focus on two very positive aspects.Chile protests.jpgFirst, social media has played a critical role in mass political movements around the world. Everywhere from Hong Kong to the Middle East to South America mass protests have been aided by social media. For the first time in history, major transformations are reshaping countries thanks to public pressure from political movements that lack any clear leadership, either from individuals or organized groups. Before the creation of the internet, this was never possible. Social media prompts from celebrities, for example, have been instrumental in organizing mass support for animal rights, environmental protection, voter registration, etc.Most recently, the Prime Minister and his Cabinet resigned in Lebanon after mass protests. The President of Bolivia, Evo Morales, after being re-elected to a fourth term, resigned and left Bolivia.Whether one’s sympathies are on the Left or the Right politically, in the annals of democracy, mass protests represent an essential dialogue between the people and their elected representatives. Mass movements don’t always have positive results, but they are an essential element worth protecting within the domain of free speech.

While this is also a criticism, it means people quickly come to rely on what it has to offer, and by analyzing users’ habits we can learn about human nature the same way we can evaluate TV habits.Television is addictive. When TV first became popular in the U.S. in the 1960s, there was widespread criticism of its dangers. People claimed color TVs caused cancer after excessive exposure.As a boy, my parents warned me not to sit too close to the TV, a warning necessary as remote controls hadn’t yet been invented, anTVs were much smaller. The first color TVs made in the U.S. had 21-inch screens, smaller than my Mac desktop. We were also warned about the dangers of microwave ovens when they first appeared. However, no one is talking about getting cancer from TVs anymore or TV addiction. Now the fear is the addictive nature of social media and the internet, particularly video games.
