It is extremely empowering and playing field leveling. But unfortunately it can empower stupid people to be stupid and stupid groups of people to be stupid together.

Is social media empowering people or making them stupid?
It depends on the person and their use of the tool that social media is. Some people make millions while others make memes.
Sometimes though, those making memes end up making millions, even if it's not in monetary value. Social media can provide a community broader than your geographical location and it's all about who you follow/connect with.

Is social media empowering people or making them stupid?
Social media is a chaotic good. It can drive people to vanity but also help promote subjects on a global scale. Personally, I like to use social media to stay in touch with the world, but I understand after the hostile Kardashian take-over, we have a very delicate balance on what people use it for.

It depends on the person - some people get empowered by it and that is a good thing. Others are just not getting any benefit despite their heavy consumption.

Making them stupid. I believe social media users can be split up into 4 qroups after being asked 2 questions. Do you post regularly? Do you feel like there's a community of friends engaging with your posts? If you said yes and yes (Y/Y) social media is making you stupid because it gives you only a sliver of what a real community can, yet occupies your time and fills an emotional need that would otherwise drive you to network in person. It's also possible you're focusing too much time on maintaining a personal brand or image that is not really you, which helps you in no way. If you said yes and no (Y/N) social media is making you stupid because it's making you depressed. You're trying, and failing at filling some social need on the internet. If you said no and yes (N/Y), I'm guessing you're famous, maybe you're getting empowered, but you're rare what's happening to you isn't widespread and is almost certainly accompanied by a real life community of fans/fellow activists. Finally if you said no and no (N/N) you're like me. You're either barely interested or burnt out, and social media is making you stupid because thinking about it makes you into a curmudgeon.
Looking For: To meet programmer(s) interested in my startup and network in general

Social media is a great way to get an idea or product out. It is a great way to build awareness and find information to help. Social media is terrible to peoples self esteem and real life relationships. Social media is not an accurate depiction of life, it is the facade that you want people to see. You have people comparing their facade to others people's facade. Then you also have the people who become emboldened by the anonymity of social media say things that they would never say in a face to face situation. I believe social media could be good, just perhaps not how it currently is.
