I wonder if social media is doing more harm to Singapore than good?
Once upon a time, not too long ago, I was heartened that we were enjoying greater freedom of speech with social media. Our voices were communicated through channels that were never made available to us before. In this virtual space, nobody can be sidelined and everyone has a voice.
But today, I start to wonder if Singaporeans are allowing their discontentment to spin out of control? What is enough, or not? I honestly think, hear and feel the government making efforts to push policies forward to address the unhappiness that sent across a very clear message during the elections. But these things take time. Social media doesn't allow time for results to show.
Is it making us greedier? More impatient? And less forgiving?
We seem to forget that the online space also has a saturation of good and bad information. I just hope, we don't forget to always filter out the bad. Some arguments online simply don't make any sense to me.
