"Happiness is best predicted by the breath and depth of one's social connections." -Robert Putnam
Those who feel this isn't true probably don't have many close relationships. Social media doesn't bring people closer together, it drives them further apart.
Some people spend more time in-front of a screen than in-front of other people and, when they do get together, they spend their time texting other people instead of being attentive to the person next to them.
This is a problem since the only way to build anything great is with the help of a community and the only way to have a community is to have people around other people.
Lets meet old friends and not bring our screen devices with us.
