Introduction

Rachel Schmitz: I don't like the term social media because I don't think it really is provoking or facilitating true social connection. The average American has only three real friends and a large percentage of the American public doesn't have anybody that is actually close enough that they would consider them a true friend. If you take it at surface value you think you've got a whole bunch of people who care about you and they're really acquaintances and they don't really care about you.
