Social networks are us. Social media are our loudspeakers. Social media are the digital vehicle of our social networks – we can change social media. Social networks are what remains between us when there’s no electricity anymore. Speaking of online social networking is one thing. Conflating the notion with the tools we use and making it 'a social network' is an abuse of language that replaces actual human social interaction with a corporate product. Beware of the words. You may end up believing you're entertaining a social life behind a screen. == hk
