RE: Does Social Media Decrease Human Contact?

in #psychology7 years ago

I don't believe so, at all.

It's easier than ever to talk to a friend or family.

It's easier to be in a long-distance relationship today because technology makes it possible to communicate easily for free, everyday.

It's easier to study other cultures with social media.

I find that this whole less human contact thing is just people somehow being unhappy when people are glued to their phones outside.

But come on... we're evolving forward.

Sort:  

Good points. I'm not sure being glued to phones is a good way to move forward though ;) Thanks for the feedback.

It IS a habit that needs to be recognized.

Is it good or bad though? I find that most people conclude that it's bad just because we use it too much.

Classic example: Too many people use their phones in the train all the time. But... give them a break yo. A train ride without a phone is boring.

But yeah, other scenarios like using your phone in a dinner conversation is just rude.
