They feel frustrated - but haters are losers. It's not good to feed this aspect. It's more intelligent to be constructive. Paulo Coelho People are at the mercy of internet trolls who bring people who are excellent in their fields down to their level. They're diminishing someone's flame to make theirs brighter. David HayeYou get the odd person [in social media] that will write something nasty and the trick is not to engage with them on any level. Boy George Social media is driving the culture, it drives peoples minds literally. Aeriel Miranda The goal of social media is to turn customers into a volunteer marketing army. Jay BaerThey appear to have become so attached to their outrage that they are even more outraged that they won't be able to be outraged anymore. Barney FrankDon’t believe everything you read on the internet. Abraham LincolnCuriosity pulls people into the scam. Frank StalloneDistractions are everywhere. And with the always-on technologies of today, they take a heavy toll on productivity. One study found that office distractions eat an average 2.1 hours a day. Another study, published in October 2005, found that employees spent an average of 11 minutes on a project before being distracted. After an interruption, it takes them 25 minutes to return to the original task, if they do at all. David RockWe're comparing our behind-the-scenes with everybody else's highlight reel. Steven FurtickIf you struggle to break up with your phone for even two minutes, maybe it’s time to take action and treat yourself to a digital detox. Even if it’s just one hour a day, it can make a world of difference to your well-being and sanity. Jennifer LiuMostly, I think people are fake. Well, what do you expect? The fake world we live in conspires to make us all fakes. Benjamin Alire SaenzI don't care how much money you have, free stuff is always a good thing. Queen LatifahThere's a danger in the internet and social media. The notion that information is enough, that more and more information is enough, that you don't have to think, you just have to get more information - gets very dangerous.
