Its hard to believe, but the issues around social media are in some ways far from new. Note the following quotes from Mark Twain that feel profoundly relevant today. It seems that the era of change Twain lived through (notably the rise and the fall of the steamboat engine as a primary means of travel and distribution) parallels our own uncertain era of transition.
“Let us make a special effort to stop communicating with each other, so we can have some conversation. “ Mark Twain
“Civilization is the limitless multiplication of unnecessary necessities”.
Mark Twain
“I was gratified to be able to answer promptly, and I did. I said I didn't know. “
Mark Twain
