Social media creates a ton of new needs that it then proceeds to only partially, and unpredictably, fill.

You're just realizing again that you don't really give a shit what your mom had for breakfast, unless you're talking about it with her to pass the time over dinner:)

There's absolutely nothing that anybody has to say to me that can't wait a day (except "the site's down!")

I'm going to get a t-shirt saying "Don't talk to me unless the site is down" haha. Yeah, trying to fill that void with social media is like trying to put out fire with napalm.
