Search Results: how to tone up exercise

I joined GAG to learn more about women and relationships. There are many flaws I've discovered to how social media works and think they are not good long term. Question becomes, do others feel the same and can it be fixed?

Talking on phone or video provides information like tone, facial expressions (if face provided). Can really discuss in depth. It is obviously, more natural in how we communicate and more satisfying, or quickly ends the discussion, which is fine.

Texting/message threads has issues:
* Multi tasking... jumping back and forth between topics... this is not normal for the male brain at minimum. Women do better multi tasking, but I'd wonder if there are side effects we don't know.
* Addictive tendencies from the dopamine hit.. waiting for responses going back to check on responses. Makes us feel we are important, when we are not.. and results in withdrawal and pain symptoms
* Easy to mis communicate in writing, short answers, or be hurt by
* Leaves a false impression of a connection or "friend", when they could disappear and never hear from again. It's a hollow experience unless a greater offline is created.
* False sense of security... especially for women, but true of men who are gamed. People can put on a facade which is effectively violating trust. This results in hurt and distrust. Many have left GAG because of frauds sending pics, etc.. Many are not genuine... hiding behind a profile.
* Distractions of other media... like news where there is something I'm reading, but other "interesting" stories pop up.

Social media seems poisonous to the human soul. It makes us think we are being social while exercising some of the worst in our nature.

It's a time when we need GOOD social engagement. I don't think social media is it and may be counter productive.

What do you think? Do you think social media should be evolved into something else or it is ok as it is?
