What did Facebook or anybody expect to happen with live streaming?
It's going to keep happening. People are empty inside searching for attention for the most part these days. People live to have their inner light (talent or ability) validated by others. FB live streaming is tricking people into believing that people actually care about them. So people are doing drastic shyt out there just so they can be noticed. Sad world we live in. People walking around with no purpose. Just lost. All the technology was supposed to bring people together, the opposite has happened because most people are too self involved. I know I am. I quit FB when I realized the nobody really gave a damn and I didn't either.
It
could bring people together but its the people not the tool that is the issue.
And no it's not religion that's the key. It really is as you said, people are empty inside and are searching for meaning or validation. Some will even go to lengths to devalue others because of some shyt lacking inside of them.
The tech is advancing faster than the users. That's what it comes down to.
Mind you, this is coming from someone who also recently got rid of FB and has no desire to go back.
