How do you feel about social media?

Is it actually killing our social lives?

Do you remember when you used to get out and talk to people more, before social media was around, versus nowadays?

My daughter's boyfriend broke his phone and would carry around his laptop for a few weeks. We made fun of him so bad for it. LOL I've never really seen anyone do that before.
