“We'd all survive if Twitter shut down for a short while during major riots. Social media isn't any more important than a train station, a road or a bus service.

“Critics worry that if we spend time paying attention to that new kind of media or technology instead of talking to each other that that is somehow isolating. But humans are fundamentally social.
