So who has had it with social media being crammed down our throats 24/7? Why has it become popular since Obama's time? Is it the economy?

Update:

There are a lot bigger issues then social media being forced down our throats to understand world issues which is simply the cheap way of doing it if you don't like researching you're own information to come to you're own conclusions.

So why are we stuck in a period of companies focused on data mining rather then create useful products?

Is it the bad economy causing these big companies to sit on their cash rather then risk new innovations?

    The RINO's want More of the same... Therefore they run an Obama Lite Candidate again against Obama... John McCain was a bought and paid for Shill of Slave Labor Trade and so is Romney. There is no doubt left that if this so called Free Trade which in reality is "FREE" to use Slave Labor "TRADE" is allowed to continue the middle class will disappear and it will be like stepping back into the early 1930's again.. Once again... History not learned from will always repeat itself... My tip of the day... Relevant theories are. The Hour Glass Theory. The Useless Eaters Theory and The Tipping-point Theory... Learn them or be doomed by your own ignorance of them... Obama must be stopped even if we have no real choices other than Romney... Bye Bye Obama.... November 6th, 2012

    Since Obama's time? What kind of idiot believes nonsense like that?

    Individuals and corporations creating and pushing social media sites has nothing to do with governments.

    In the post industrial world of information technology, corporations don't build products anymore. They code apps and programs.

    Building products is left to 3rd World nations like China where they can be cheaply mass produced by low wage workforces.

    Since you evidently believe "social media has become popular since Obama's time", I'm afraid there is probably very little that can be done to fix your brain....it's just too badly broken!

    Actually this is NOT social media. Twitter and Facebook posts will go away as fast as they come in. Here posts are archived and I can search for questions 7 years ago.

    I do NOT want to know what you had for dinner or why you are late at the train station.

    It was popular long before Obama came to power. If you don't like it, it's easy to avoid.
