Social Media is for the Professionals
I would like to bring this down to a personal level.
I have traversed this Great Land of ours called Earth many, many times. From Oak River to Indiana to North Carolina — I have seen many peoples, had discussion with many members of all sexes, and have been witness to many dangerous things. Through the years, I’ve enjoyed the best scotch, drank the best vodka and smoked many cigarettes.
However, today I have been witnessed to something horrible. The danger of social “new” media. Long gone are the days where we could let our children roam the world a mere 1,200 days from the womb. We are truly now living in a dangerous society.

Social Websites Harm Children’s Brains
In the 50’s, when the magic of television began to spread throughout Uncle Sam, we had a similar worry — that the micro-waves from the Temptress Tubes all over would melt the cerebral cortex of a child lesser than nineteen years of age. Now, we are inundated with all sorts of “red light” media.
So, as a personal note from me, please leave social media to the professionals. This is not to be “played-with”. Twittering alone brought our very own staff of highly-trained individuals to their knees, though we did prevail.
Be safe,
Matthew F. Baffington

How many times have I warned of this? How many times must I post not to meddle in technology? Just like Frodo, we posess a special power in what we innovate and we must act responsibly. Children’s lives are at stake.
This “social media” sounds pretty scary. Just the other day I saw a odd looking fellow at the grocery that seemed to be a bit different than the rest of us. Do you think this “social media” got him?
Social mediums are very scary and should be left to the professionals. As dangerous as it is however, I fear the train has left the station.
Mr. Kensington is not exactly sure what “social media” is, but if it has anything to do with the advertising game, he wholeheartedly agrees. There are days when he feels that even simple conversations should be left to senior management, because the rest of the world acts like it’s drunk on stupid juice.
