Steven Wilson Quotes

Social networking like Facebook or Twitter is very popular, but one thing I have found is that the more social networking tools you are using, the more alone you feel.

Social media, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter - I steer away from them. They're alienating us socially as well as bringing us together.

I have done a pretty good job of partitioning my life digitally, posting utterances and stories that I'm happy to share with anyone on Twitter, leaving a few sparse comments and 'Likes' on Facebook (I'm not a huge user of the service, I'll be honest), and sending any number of photos to thousands of 'followers' on Instagram and Tumblr.

While the digital age has done so much to improve our world, it has dramatically changed our social structure, often further isolating us from each other.

We're so very focused on ourselves and on self-promotion. It goes on all day with Facebook and Twitter and Instagram.

I don't do Facebook and I don't do Twitter, and already I notice that, with some of my friends, there's a whole sphere of conversation that I'm completely on the outside of, and that's my choice. But, to a greater extent, that's what the whole of life is like.

We have more media than ever and more technology in our lives. It's supposed to help us communicate, but it has the opposite effect of isolating us.

Digital technology is both arousing and distancing. We don't look at the users on the other side as people. They aren't - they're just usernames, Facebook photos and Twitter handles.

Social media is great, I guess, but it feels like technology is the sapper of innocence.

Twitter became a major place to find out what was breaking on the Internet. Facebook became a place to share links. Social media really grew up.

I think it's very helpful having Twitter and all that. I mainly talk about work on Twitter. I keep my personal life separate from my work life, but I think it helps because everybody's on the Internet now - everybody has Facebook; everybody has Twitter.

In reality, quitting Facebook is much more problematic than the company's executives suggest, if only because users cannot extract all the intangible social capital they have generated on the site and export it elsewhere.

Even when Facebook came out, and I was in college, I found myself never putting anything on it.
