Socalgia

 

#vss365 #myopic

Socalgia is a type of pygalgia. 

For the sake of generality, “soc” here includes any channel of chatter and social networking using information and communication technology (ICT). It should be emphasized here that the “pain” relates to that experienced at a personal and psychological level and does not include the distress caused by virulent attacks involving identity theft, virtual bullying and hate-mongering.

In its first decade, the rapid growth of various channels of chatter via ICT was mostly viewed through rosy, though #myopic, lenses. In its second decade, businesses and governments realized its immense scope. 

What began as a means for virtual bonhomie has evolved into the proverbial Trojan horse. Even ardent fans ask, "It feels good but what lies within?"
