That's how it works, though; it gets refined by time. The wisdom is not from "wise people", it's the stuff that survives, regardless of source.

I think the concept has gone passé [1] because ~60 years ago we flipped to a youth-focused culture, and youth generally have little respect for wisdom.

However, I'm not slagging on anybody for not knowing how to wisely use technology, because it does take time, and we haven't had much time! The best we could possibly be doing today is just considering the question, which is still better than not considering the question. I think there are a lot of people who would find the idea that there could be features of a social network that are "unwise" to use still a foreign concept. (Though I feel like certain aspects are starting to get into popular culture. The idea that Facebook can literally be depressing is starting to get out there, for instance.) And I wouldn't expect even tentative answers for another few years, minimum. It's a hard problem.

[1]: Hey, if you're going to make it easy to copy & paste I will :)

I'd say the "flip" to a more (relatively) youth-focused culture ~60 years ago was responsible for many of the positive cultural changes of the 20th century. If we accept that youth generally have little respect for wisdom, I would add that the older generations generally confuse experience, age, and tradition with wisdom, when they are profoundly different.
