The video sends a message that is a familiar one and which enlightened me in no way. I'd be interested in hearing what the users have to say in regard to social media being their drug of choice. That would be informative. From my POV, social media and its components are a paradox that not only releases your true self, allowing you to key things that you wouldn't say in person, but let's you conceal your true self, hiding behind the facade of whom you wanna-be. It also provides a retreat when in the presence of people who don't bring out the best in you or - in them. So it's all about control and convenience. That's obviously a strong combination to resist, and a hard habit to break. Computer technology is like a Pandora's Box and all the woes that have escaped from it can't be put back in. The Millennials have inherited this artificial legacy, and the preceding generations are ill-equipped to cure what has also afflicted them. This is too bad. But there is the possibility that people interacting with each other, no longer insecure about being who they really are, will represent a mode of behavior that will come about as a result of things going in cycles of change. Otherwise, human life is doomed to evolve into a species akin to androids on a collision course with asteroids. In the future Planet Earth could get blindsided by a comet that would send it hurdling back to square one, providing the opportunity for a creative force to Bang out the dents and get it right this time. If, however, these missiles fall short, the electronic body snatchers will prevail and - nobody will know the difference.

My pleasure Troy. I did not even search to see if he had a profile in AALBC. I hope you post your thoughts to what was said concerning Brother Stephenson or the celebration to his life.
