RE: What’s Happened to Our Communication?

Oh my,this is a wonderful piece to reflect on. I call my mum phone over the phone every single day. Maybe that's because she is not on any social media platform. If she was, maybe I would have just be sending WhatsApp messages.

I use to have a friend whom I barely talked to. We use to text only on social media. After some days of not texting, I found out he had died. All the while we were texting, he was battling with a disease.

Thank you for this article. Indeed we need to go back to the drawing board.

I hope people out there see this piece and come back to this realization. Social media has eaten deep into our communication lives.

Sort:  

That is so good that you speak with your mom by phone every day. My mom is the same way, not on social platforms. She does do the texting but not as often which is great because it causes us to talk more.

Oh wow. So sorry to hear about your friend passing. Yes, we really need to revisit the old ways of communication that helped us stay connected in a more meaningful way.

Thanks for reading and commenting ~
