Letter: Phones smart, owners aren’t

So-called social media is in the news, particularly Facebook. Technology has “dumbed down” America and others to a shameful level. I laugh to myself when I go shopping and see people who cannot stay off their phones long enough to shop for a few minutes. The phones may be smart, their owners are not.

God gave most of us a three-pound brain; try using it. I have driven from Virginia to Iowa and from Michigan to Florida. Ii did not need an app to do my navigating.

As for Facebook and other social media, chances are no one really wants to see a picture of your mangy mutt and no one cares what you had for breakfast.

Anyone who puts their business on social media and then gets their business hacked or stolen deserves what they get
