Agree. When it first started out, I believe it did more good then harm. If the current benefits of social media (speed of information, interconnected networks, etc.) could be limited to things like news reporting or emergency services notification, it'd be great. IMHO, for the vast majority of current users, it serves as a platform to expose the rest of the world to their problems and enables their need for attention. I've heard far to many stories of families and friends ruining relationships because of social media, not to mention jobs and celebrities. However that's not to say there aren't any benefits now - for example, I love being able to see pictures from friends and family. I just don't agree with the stream-of-consciousness that it has become.
