Part of the problem is that people have become far too easily offended, feeling the need to express faux outrage and indignation whilst forgetting that most of us are really quite moderate in what we think. If you believed everything you read on social media you'd think the world was divided into good and evil with nothing in between.

Another problem with social media is that it gives stupid people confidence and it makes intelligent people doubt themselves.

In my mind, the solution is to see most social media for what it is, a bit of fun, a new form of entertainment, and to not take it, or what is,written, too seriously at all.
