Social media.

Its ability to influence everything based on nothing more than a statement. That statement may contain exactly ZERO facts or basis in reality but there are more than enough gullible and uneducated people to believe it. Likes and thumbs up drive narratives because those same gullible & uneducated people find their self worth in the acceptance of strangers.

I signed up for Twitter some years ago and almost immediately deleted it. Nothing but constant negativity and hate.
Anonymity has given the most pathetic humans the biggest megaphone they could ever dream of having and the vile that they spew hourly is warping the mind of our youth.

Can't argue with that. Just take a look around here.
 
Two worst inventions in Human History:

1. Cellphones

2. The Interweb

So you are correct Grandpa...

And you've just summed up most of right wing talk radio/internet media and the people who consume it. Like the examples of Levin, Shapiro, and Rogan..any moron with a microphone and a podcast can set themselves up to be...well...morons. And the willing baby birds on the right open their mouths and await their daily regurgitation like it was their only meal...yep, the myth of a liberal media is what is always has been...a myth.

It definitely all has its pitfalls but it also has some major benefits if used correctly. The ability to educate oneself is better than it has ever been for those who take the time to do so. The biggest problem I see is people allowing their children to watch anything and everything and invasion of privacy can be an issue, young or old who are naive can be easily swayed but at the same time they can also be well informed.
