The ugly part of social media is that it too often can reveal (often for perpetuity) people at their very worst. Think for a moment about how communication has changed over the last 20 years. Twenty years ago, after a bad day at the office, a person might mumble under their breath on the way to the car and then tell their significant other about it when arriving home. This was a safe way for a person to blow off steam and to let the anger or anxiety related to a particular person or situation dissipate. In today’s world, too often what was once mumbled under one’s breath is tweeted to a group of followers or plastered on the internet as a status update. Unfortunately, once this message is posted in the heat of the moment, the person who posted it loses control over what happens to it, risking the creation of a permanent record of a person’s worst thoughts and behavior.
