Obama Warns Of Social Media Impact, Reveals He Would Rather Chew Than Smoke In An Interview With Prince Harry

The long anticipated interview of former President Barack Obama by Britain's Prince Harry on BBC Radio 4  has finally been aired and the former President was well quizzed in the interview.
During the interview, the father-of-two expressed his concern for the “corroding civil discourse”,  impact social media is having on the society.
“One of the dangers of the internet is that people can have entirely different realities,They can be cocooned in information that reinforces their current biases," he expressed  " Things aren’t as simple as they’ve been portrayed in whatever chat room you’ve been in.”
Nonetheless, they both had a nice time during the program and this time, he did have to sound British or used its ascent but there were at some point difference at use of words which showed the difference between the two natives.
