millions are dying intellectually by focusing on their online persona

Online social media is a relatively new phenomenon, so you should take an honest look at its sociological effects instead of just assuming it's the same as rock compared to jazz or Tarzan compared to Sherlock Holmes. We have a generation growing up unable to deal with each other face to face. They think reality is in a virtual world instead of in the real world. So now we have dates where people read from each other's online profiles instead of getting to know the other person. Meetings where people multitask on their handhelds instead of solve problems. The productivity lost and psychological effects will be hard to measure. And this site is not the problem, unless you think it's a gateway drug to others
