Book: The Most I Achieved by Cássio Zanatta - Realejo Livros

Social networks are the Great Plague of the World. Serious. One day – getting closer and closer – we will discover all the harm they have caused, from the bubbles in which they closed us to the discrediting of the truth and the demoralization of democracy. Social media amplified the voices of idiots and brought to light that part of society that always existed, but was ashamed to expose their ideas because they realized how petty they were. On social media, however, pettiness became a lifestyle and a source of pride, and it triumphed.

Would the world be better without social media? It's possible. But the world would certainly be worse without them. Much worse. Social networks weakened dictatorships and expanded horizons; They served to unite people, deepen bonds of affection, create safety and support networks. Social networks have brought old friends closer together, created new friendships and revealed talents.

I hate social media — and I love social media. Without them, I would not have met Cássio Zanatta, and I would have missed countless moments of joy, tenderness and reflection.
