The lag between inventing something and understanding its consequences is roughly 10 years. Social media (2010→2020), smartphones (2007→2017).

That lag is about to get shorter.

@Daojoan I’m sure a lot of people understood the consequences of social media in a 2 to 5 years period.
@Daojoan where are you starting social media from? I had a Facebook account in 2005, and a bebo account in 2004. And Myspace was well before that
