I don't think we're mentally ready for social media, even.
What something like Twitter can inflict on a person when it goes wrong is absolutely unprecedented, and we still haven't adapted to it.
Think that for instance going to the cinema, watching a movie, walking out and venting to a friend "Boy, this one sucked. $ACTOR_NAME did a really bad job with this one" is a perfectly normal thing to do.
But move that to Twitter and it can become part of a years-long torrent of hate highly visible to that single person. Even if what you think you're doing is communicating with your 10 friends. A retweet, a hashtag, or just the algorithm can magically make your comment part of an online mob.
