I get tired of people blaming social media for societies ills.
Most of these ills existed long before Facebook. Facebook just makes it more apparent. Common people are on twitter, on reddit, on all the big networking sites directly pointing out that "everything is far from okay" and for a certain segment of the successful population of the world, they almost take that as an insult to them personally, because they're doing well and they assumed everyone else was too.
The reality is there are huge segments of the global and even American population that are being largely left behind by our new shiny future.
