hooked

“Hooked” is about finding the patience—and the self-discipline—to manage everything that comes with social media. For many, it has quietly replaced older habits, like cigarette addiction, if you really think about it.

Why is it that some top executives at companies behind platforms like this one refuse to give their own kids access to the very products they create? And how many young lives have been lost—through suicide or acts of violence—after experiences with cyberbullying on social media?

These are difficult questions. Uncomfortable ones.

And yet, social media has also become a dependable, even essential, way for me to share what I do with others.

That tension is always there.
These are the thoughts that run through my mind every time I log on.
