Unlike Facebook and its ilk, Free Republic is actually edifying.

I know. They text continually, but that’s not social media.

I use LinkedIn extensively when looking for new work. It is indispensable in tech. I’m starting a new job Jan 18 — have two weeks off between jobs.

Also, my son landed his first job out of college via LinkedIn — companies were contacting him. His next two were via his own established personal network; all by his mid twenties.

Could you give up Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or LinkedIn for 24 hours? How about for an entire week? A year, anyone?
Glad I don't use any of those things.

Why, in this modern world, would you want to give up communicating with people? I don't get it.

We can give these things up when the EMP hits. For now, let's use them to marshal forces for the cause of freedom.
