I think we are probably eventually going to look back at the advent of instant portable internet access and social media as being simply a disaster for society and culture, especially for younger girls.
perhaps, but I think social media simply replaced hand written diaries as more visual and shareable records of young female angst...
That could very well be. But as you say, no written diary was ever disseminated, shared and spread in real time among family, friends, and strangers in huge numbers like this social media stuff is. I think it probably changes the way a person thinks.
