Amber Alerts and social media

Have you ever seen someone posting about how bad technology is from their Facebook account one minute, than posting an Amber Alert the next minute and about their new iPhone the minute after that? I have, a few times actually. Facebook is many things of course and yes, people use it for good and bad, but in reality like most things in life, Eric Clapton was right. The morality is truly "in the way that you use it."

Amber alerts are a perfect example. If you complain about technology you should never share an Amber alert through social media. Ever. In case you can't tell, Amber alerts wouldn't exist twenty years ago, and even if they did, they could only be broadcast on the radio and television and not through your phone. Amber Alerts save lives, and they work best if you get more and more people to see them. The best way to do that in 2018, is through social media.
