  1. I hope Congress does something to regulate Facebook. I do use it, but I’m angry at their irresponsible policies. As for dating apps, yes, one must be careful, but I have a bunch of friends who have found love via the internet. There’s always good and bad to all technology.

  2. Good evening Brenda,
    I am so happy that I grew up without cell phones, and social media. I think social media has done so much damage to so many people, People think it is only young kids, girls, but adults leave Instagram and these other sites feeling horrible about how they look, what their houses looks, like etc. I read an article recently that referred to Facebook as a super power and it said it Facebook gets its own currency you will see the end of the US dollar.

  3. You are such a voracious reader. I believe that people who enjoy your blog would also enjoy a compilation of books that made a lasting impression on you. I often purchase books from recommendations that are posted on Youtube. Such as. . .
    My favorite books of all time
    Self-help books that changed my life
    Books to read in your lifetime

    Just a thought

  4. Brenda,
    my daughter was born in 1975 and I selectively chose when and what she watched on T.V. I also knew every friend and their parents. I am a common sense person who pays attention and evaluates the world around me. Screen time and use of social media should be analyzed and user time moderated! The number of psychological predators out there are mind boggling. There are so many activities other than screen time in this world to be experienced and enjoyed.

  5. You’re right, Brenda. In my opinion, “social media” has turned millions of Americans into the equivalent of the BORG from Star Trek, the main reason I’m not on social media. I think for myself, I use logic and reasoning to come to my own beliefs, not what somebody else tells me I NEED to think or I’m “woke” or I’m a “Karen.” WHY do we need social media at all??? If the people we think are important in our lives won’t communicate with us through regular “old fashioned” telephone calls or email or face to face visits (masked or not), just how important are WE to THEM, hmmm? Get off social media, quit it cold turkey, you can do it. We’ll all be better off for it. And you’ll find out who really are your friends and the family members who actually love you.

  6. I know this “off the wall” comment will have many of you skeptical, but I’ve read that the rapid advances in technology over the past 25 years are due solely to reverse engineering of alien aircraft in our possession. Part of me is saying “oh heck no, that’s crazy!” while the rest can’t help but wonder at the rapidity of convenience from the corded wall phone to universal cell service in such a short period of time. It’s truly remarkable!
    I’m just glad that Facebook didn’t exist when my three daughters were growing up….I agree with this whistleblower on the complications social media introduces to the anxiety of those years.
