We Don’t Need Social Media – OneZero

my notes ( ? )

We could simply choose not to have social media at all anymore.... We don’t need social media to make friends or build relationships... to become engaged in politics... explore our cities ... hail a cab ... hear new music ... discover subcultures ... plan our lives....
