The real issue with the internet is that there are too many people.
600+ comments already and I’m sure no one will be reading this one.
I’m looking for the social media platform which communicates by 1-minute videos, no share option, and people are encouraged to develop relationships within a small community.

The community size is important. I feel this is the trickiest part. It’s difficult to keep track of more than a few dozen relationships - especially when they are not neighbors, and they don’t go to your school, church or school.
“Internet friends” have no time to talk about local issues, since for the most part their lives aren’t affected. You won’t be inviting “internet friends” out for a hike, or to meet you at the farmer’s market.
It’s like The Internet was a cool new toy and the new wore off. It’s a useful tool. It has the potential to liberate minds all over the globe. And at the same time, it does a poor job of connecting people to one another.
I like video because it’s harder to hide behind a keyboard. Viewers know it wasn’t a bot that wrote an article. You get a LOT more emotional content conveyed. The videos need to be short, with written transcripts so viewers can decide how much time they’ll take watching. A person can scan text a lot faster than watching a video.
When it comes to The Internet, we only win if we learn how to use it -- to connect people; as contrast with dividing them. It’s awesome in its ability to allow people to communicate across time and distance -- with far more bandwidth than written words. Books were good; but now we have a much richer medium to work with.
Hey, do me a favor? Tap the heart so I know at least one person read this. Thanks.
