Social Media & Bad Behavior

Now that social media has been around for awhile, have you noticed a change in behaviors? At first it was all about reconnecting with people, staying up to date on local events, and posts were generally positive & fun. Minding our manners, we were polite and it was okay to disagree. We kept the bummer news offline with close friends and family. When we wanted to break up with someone, we told them in person. Heck, when we dated we actually had conversations and not via text. Now people de-friend, block, or delete to make a point. I hand it to all of you who are single, I wouldn't want to do it again. I count myself lucky every day for my husband and I relationship.

When did it become okay to call complete strangers terrible names? Or to insult someone's intelligence just because they have a difference in opinion.

At the same time, the benefit is that you can get down to the nitty gritty of a person's character by there social media style. No longer do we have to "learn the hard way"! But that's a post for another day.

P.S. 30 Day Android Challenge: Day 9 - my tablet PC will be back tomorrow. Very impressive Dell! That was less than a week. I will have to break my challenge so I can make sure everything works and to load my programs back on. Maybe the challenge will be to continue a daily post for the rest of the 30 days. You know what they say, "do something for 30 days and it becomes a habit."
