It's ruined social interaction

These kids will text whole conversations and then be MUTE in person :dead:

And I hate when somebody is texting a lot, so you call, and they act annoyed that they had to answer ... and THEN start up another text convo when you hang up after 2 min of awkward silence :kii:

Everything is better in virtual reality I guess.

Communication skills have definitely dwindled across the board.

Some people just don't like talking over the phone.


It's unconditional, these days you know....

yummy

To answer the quest'...it has it's pros and cons. Social media has given a voice to people who previously had no other outlet and sparked a new career path for a lot of people our age. On the flip side, it helps to highlight some of the uglier aspects of society (shallowness, violence, talentless ass people looking for attention and validation etc; )

Use it to your advantage and don't let it consume your personal life.

This is my pass to say WHATEVER tf I wanna say about the mess she releases so I don't wanna hear SHIT! Baby mama is a mess of a song btw

I alos hate how it ruined the mysticism around celebs. Social media has shown that most of the people we worship are dumb as hell.

I think social media has been a blessing in disguise for the most part. It's given everyone a platform to feel and be heard. Our opinions can sway laws, elections, etc. It's a faster way of communicating and making a difference.

I love it. I love people and I love to talk, whether it be the outside world or social media, so it's great for me

It's my personal page, so I can control (for the most part) who I see and talk to. The positives far outweigh anything else for me

Agreed.

In regard to the cons, I always think about e-bullying, self esteem, and sexuality. How these things have been exacerbated or harmed by social media.

In the past, you get your ass kicked in high school and only the folks who were there can spread word of it. But the pain will eventually go away. Now with SM things like this are immortalized.

Then people literally feel better than others because they have more likes or followers than their peers. People gauge their worth by how prominent they are on social media.

I would fuckin never wanna grow up during this era.

D.I.E.G.O.

In my estimation, social media has done quite a few great things and a number of terrible things. People can access and share information more quickly than ever before. People can also spread hate and false information with ease.

I think most of the good comes with some bad. The good, however, outweighs the negative IMO. I only use social media for work and would otherwise steer clear of it. It takes up so much time and forces people to disengage from real-life interactions.

I definitely think SM has championed some of the biggest sociopolitical movements of our time, no doubt.
