Social media is the “new great wasteland” TV once was during its infancy, columnist Michael Wolff told Canadian indie producers during a keynote address on Thursday.

“Television is the golden age. This [digital media] is as low a form as we can possibly imagine,” Wolff, a Hollywood Reporter contributor, said during a keynote address to the Prime Time conference in Ottawa. He particularly singled out Facebook.

“Think of that constant drivel. The digital world can go on and talk about all of the things that it believes it’s accomplishing — social community, invent a word. But the truth is, you look at that every day, and what do you feel? You feel kind of depressed,” Wolff said.
