Someday, the whole Twatter/Instagram/Facebook/Selfie culture is going to implode. Can you imagine the Millions of suicides amongst the poor little vacuous innocents, such as you portray in this article? Talk about a lost generation, So sad.

Women, men and Christians are being tortured and beheaded around the world. Women and children are being kidnapped and used as sex slaves, often being gang raped and made to do unspeakable things. Child porn is horrifying and becoming more common, it's well known that Muslim men rape little boys. What was this woman whining about, again?

It does not have to be. I post primarily shots of my chickens or my garden on Instagram - there is not a single shot of a human. When I have worried about the extent of some moulting or whatever - one chicken is quite frighteningly bare this autumn - there have been other chicken people who have joined in and said how normal it is, or posted shots of similarly bare hens. I have also forgotten the name of a plant, taken a shot, posted it, and had back within an hour or so the plant name I had tried to find all afternoon.
I literally don't get out much and work about 16 hours a day. It is nice, sometimes, to exchange ten or so words with someone else who is awake at 3.30am and also wondering if the mass of feathers in the coop is actually that normal.
As with everything, how social media is used is a reflection of the user. I don't follow madly every day, I don't worry about followers or following, and it can occasionally provide a moment of levity or answer a query. That does not make me a narcissist or shallow.
