Man of Honour
Social media rather than being inherently bad, shows up society for what it is, and it shows clear failings in the education system. The inability for people to evaluate sources of information is an embarrassment to schooling.
So much this.
You can hide on OCUK but on Facebook people know who you are and I'm often gobsmacked at some of the things 'friends' post or share without evaluating anything.
I like the "This only takes 5 seconds to share, Melissa Jones has been missing from Birmingham" and then I post "Melissa was found in 2013 in Birmingham USA, it took a 5 second Google".
I've just recently had a 'friend' who has been sacked because of all the racist posts he shares. I did warn him to be careful since he works at a place with at least 50% immigrants but I got the impression he thought 'nobody would know'.
Last week a bloke came on saying that he couldn't get a job anywhere, that he was getting to the final interviews and failing every time. I suggested that perhaps it was because they were doing their homework, finding his open Facebook page, reading all his posts and giving him the boot. "Don't be ridiculous, they wouldn't have time for that"
