What if social media is the modern tower of Babel? READ:
You know your parables, right? Adam and Eve, Noah’s Ark etc? Don’t worry, I’m not going to get all religious on you. I’ve just found myself thinking a lot about them lately because, well, regardless of what religion you subscribe to if history tends to repeat itself and man is a creature of habit, I think we’re seeing a similar pattern emerge here—one filled with valuable lessons that our forefathers have already paid for.
So back to the parable of the Tower of Babel. The Tower of Babel is a story from the Old Testament of the Bible about the construction of a tower that was intended to reach heaven. According to the Bible, up until this point, the whole world spoke the same language.
So think about it. What if social media is the modern tower of Babel? But instead of a tower, we created a platform where we could all communicate, regardless of what country, in real time, anywhere there was an internet connection. The platform gave us a universal language, so to speak, because it tore down borders. Again, there’s nothing wrong with that in principle, but the problem is, as human nature kicked in, everybody started talking and nobody was listening.
