IMHO communication is entertainment sometimes. Most of the “communication” we do day to day, like small talks to colleagues, or tweeting some posts, in my opinion, is just a way to relax and have fun, like patting each other electronically.

Sure, but there's nothing worse than when you want to have a serious conversation with someone, and all they can make are jokes.

There are a lot of serious conversations we need to have as a society right now. And collectively, all we can do is make jokes.

		Social media is probably not the best place to make such communications anyway. It is good for propaganda but not good for serious discussion. Serious, scientific discussion asks for a lot more than just communication itself.
