It's a shame to see the actual outcome of the false promises of social media. So much talking about how social networks would bring people together and help people connect and interact and give people a voice, but in the end it seems that the biggest results are that large companies have a new outlet to get eyeballs on their PR, online troughs for people to get their feed, and people have to build up even more false layers of "personal branding" around themselves, curating their eternal public record to avoid hurting their future career prospects.

Or just leave your phone at home and go outside, in which case you don't need to worry about it at all.
