DESCRIPTION

It is true. Social media has gotten way out of hand. It becomes more and more unfriendly, time-sucking, hostile (sometimes) and stressful. In the beginning the situation was very different. People were more friendly, opened and willing to interact with strangers. Today we have hostility, closed worlds, barriers, restrictions and a lot of stress. It does not have to be this way. We can return to that friendly environment of the beginning. Let's see how.
