Topic: Social Media
So my first rant like post will be centered around social media. Social media was introduced not so long ago, this fresh and innovative way of communication is widespread. Someone you may have met traveling in Oshkosh, Wisconsin can be a friend of yours virtually while you reside in Delaware. The pros and positive goal was accomplished in that friends are brought together, relatives on distant terms are reconnected. However, negatives are also achieved with social media. On certain websites a miscommunication can be developed, a miscommunication that is only able to be saved by a face to face confrontation. The introduction of messaging and texting gives people a certain confidence. A confidence to say things they have kept quiet for so long to people they are afraid of. This online confrontation removes any face to face fears one may have. So is social media's rule at complete fault for broken friendships, weakened relationships and cyber chaos?
