#TristanHarris, former #Ethics at #Google, and co-founder of The Center for #HumaneTechnology once told me - after the Center had just come out of a full year of strategization - that their primary concern was no longer #TimeWellSpent i.e. healthy #smartphone habits, but instead they were very afraid for "the complete unravelling of the fabric of #society and wars".

Which hit home, hearing it from him, who with other board members of humanetech.com have the rolodex to be in-the-know.

A couple of #TimeWellSpent ideas for #SocialMedia apps:
* an option that allows users to set a delay (eg 24 hours, or 1 week) between when we post something, and when replies to it appear in our notifications
* a similar setting for a delay in sending a drafted post, so we can have the catharsis of smashing out an angry response, then come back within 24 hours (or whatever), and redraft a more thoughtful one (or just cancel the post).
