35 Inventions That Were Meant to Help Society But Turned Out to Be Absolutely Terrible

We’ve talked about how social media has become a huge problem, but we’ve not really talked about why. The problem is the way that they are designed to show you content: generally, they show you things that you are already interested in. And if you are interested in puppies and ducks who are friends, that’s probably fine.

But what if you are interested in crazy conspiracy theories, wild political rants, or thinking that the Minions are the greatest things to ever happen to comedy? You’re going to keep seeing content like that, and it’ll reinforce your opinions until you’re utterly convinced that you’re right. That’s why social media should only show puppies and ducks.
