Social media: "bad for connection," creates "weak ties."

(ACTUALLY POSTED MAY 28 2018... but since I didn't update it, I'll leave it here at its original timestamp for posterity.)

I started trying to write this post a few months ago, just to draw attention to this episode of Chase Jarvis' interview with Brene Brown (embedded below).

A cousin of mine recommended this discussion between @BreneBrown and @chasejarvis. Good little snippets here. https://t.co/bjIr2bBMT7

And I was thinking about what I may have wrought upon my children by introducing them to smartphones a few years ago, as embedded below.

But I look back at this draft and don't know what to say, since I started writing this so long ago and I don't want to re-listen to the episodes.

So I'll post them here and now and set this train of thought behind me for a bit.
