Is Social Media Disconnecting More Than It Is Connecting People?
Digital natives, those born into the Digital Age, are surrounded by social networks. Instead of meeting up for a get together at a certain time and place, social media has flipped this on its head—now it’s all the time and everywhere! I’d like to ask how this is affecting the way we interact with and care for each other, the way we think of and care for ourselves and even to the extent of what we do and who we are becoming with our added virtual persona. A case could be made that social media is disconnecting people more than it is connecting them. It could be argued that the diversity of human relationships and communication cannot be substituted for the people we choose to connect with from behind a screen. The growing market of social media applications is beginning to redefine human connection. Are we escaping the complexities of reality to enjoy a seemingly simpler ‘virtuality’? Are we shortchanging ourselves?

Pulling Rank: The Power of the Engineering Mind Through Capitalism Listed from Planes in the Sky to Smartphones in Hand
Think about cars being bought. Do most consumers know where their catalytic converter is or its function? If the answer is no, there’s good reason for that. It is because the buyer didn’t purchase the vehicle to be an expert on exhaust systems. He or she wanted to purchase a car or truck to get around places and to haul precious cargo. The dollars that they plunked down in order to obtain a vehicle stand as the factor that permits them to go to a mechanic if they ever run into any problems. Most people are too busy worrying about the bills they must pay, the parents and or children that they must provide for (if the first case is worthy of it) and any other expenses that might arise.
