Even some 20-odd years after the invention of the internet, when social media is up there with online shopping, people still think it's bad for society. And maybe it’s true, in some ways, to an extent. But this isn’t the first time people have thought community was on the brink of extinction, and it won’t be the last. “Kids these days, sitting inside instead of reading like we did!” people said about television. “That infernal contraption will be the death of society.” But we can go back even further. All the way to the beginning of humanity, in fact.
