Well, I read your piece, the comments, and some other casts too. Thanks for writing
Social Media? Not in my now truncated experience. I deal with it as Attention mining on steroids.
One of my fav words (and this began in Germany, I heard?) is "smombie" - smartphone zombie haha. The infestation is spreading World War Z style.

Try Machine Learning.
Notice that it's machine learning and not machine yearning.
Machines cannot yearn.
The difference is significant.
I definitely noticed the yearning in your rant! Well done.
