But the amount of people on these platforms have also exploded. And we are starting to see a change in the way social media is used, nowadays it could be seen as to be used in an isolating way rather than being a way for people to connect and communicate.

      You can learn a lot about people from their social media data, the good and the bad. Often times when you're looking at someone's social media data you're probably already looking for the bad anyways, which is why a lot of people's social media data probably contains something embarrassing, something they probably don't even remember is out there on the internet. You can learn about someone's interests, dislikes, things they hate, what they love. Social media data is very vast, and sometimes probably includes things we don't remember.

    1. I think Confucianism the aztec virtue is true, although theres times where it feels we can do everything on our own. We often times need the support of a village, which is why it is said that because "the earth is slippery, slick" it is easy for individuals to fall into bad actions. I think thats also a beautiful way to explain for some of human beings wrong doings.
