Hi, It is kinda off-topic (i'd OT it), and being picky it's GNU/Linux Debian, not GNU/Debian Linux. Being extra picky i'd ask where is Manhattan, :)
There's no inherent incompatibility between FOSS software and social media, that i know of. Your only concern could be the browser but Firefox has become well-known (still doesn't stop incompetent web-designers from writing to IE-only but i digress) and capable of dealing with the everything-must-work-through-a-browser trend. As for social media, i tend to avoid it; i believe it actually has the reverse effect, or maybe a shifting effect. Yeah people will "socialize" a lot through social media but then those same people will, like you said, check their phones in the real world while treating patients. And what do people do now when they feel those awkward moments of silence popping up in an elevator with a stranger? Why they'll check for new messages on their phones (even though it didn't beep or vibrate). Seems like people are becoming ever more individualistic and losing people-skills. Sometimes i wish i had a baseball bat when i hear someone around me actually pronounce "lol". But if you're aiming for a local business, word of mouth oughta be enough - unless you want a customer base who's definition of that is word of sms. Yup, OT.
