In an op-ed published earlier this month, columnist Thomas Friedman asked if social media has played the role of the creator or the destroyer. Friedman wrote:"Does it turn out that social media is better at breaking things than at making things?" He raised these questions as if he was discovering a new argument. Actually, this technological revolution has been empty since its beginning.
