1.Social media is growing rapidialy, especially the online social media is growing fasster than we can keep up with. These new generation students are going to be so focused on thier video games. thier cell phones that they won’t know what would hit them. As a parent you should mointior how long your children are on social media not just for safety reasons but to tell them to go take a break and get fresh air. When I was younger it was snack, homework, 30 minutets of T.V. then Outside untill dinner time then it was wash up time shower time and bed time at 9:00pm. Social media is not a great thing instead of writing or texting to family and friends, now students are excited to message family and friends on facebook, snapchat, whats up app, and instagram.

2.Social Media has significantly lowered the face to face communication because the internet is at your fingertips, it lessens the interaction of dealing with actual people, in my situation, this works well for me because I don’t really like interacting too much with actual people, and this makes people become more self-centered and become suicidal because they don’t have actual persons to relate to or really speak to,
So for me, Social media is great for meetings and virtual doctor visits, but bad for today’s generation who is a fast pace and self-centered.
According to (Face to Face online Communications, May 2, 2019) Online communication is great its convenient, flexible, and fast, however, it shouldn’t take the place of face t0 face communications, (Wagner 2015). It is unfortunate, but social media is now a necessity. It is now the preferable way to communicate, which causes incompetent communication within a relationship trying to be formed. Keller argues that social media can burden face-to-face relationships, Face-to-face relationships lose complexity, if people choose social media instead of interacting with friends.
Question to the class, Which do you prefer face to face or online interactions, and why?

Social media use has skyrocketed over the past decade and a half. Whereas only five percent of adults in the United States reported using a social media platform in 2005, that number is now around 70 percent. Growth in the number of people who use Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, and other social media platforms and the time spent on them has garnered interest and concern among policymakers, teachers, parents, and clinicians about social media’s impacts on our lives and psychological well-being, When it comes to teens, a recent study by Jean Twenge Ph.D., professor of psychology at San Diego State University, and colleagues found that, as a cohort, high school seniors heading to college in 2016 spent an “ hour less a day engaging in in-person social interaction” such as going to parties, movies, or riding in cars together compared with high school seniors in the late 1980s. As a group, this decline was associated with increased digital media use. However, more social media use was positively associated with more in-person social interaction at the individual level. The study also found that adolescents who spent the most time on social media and the minor face-to-face social interactions reported loneliness. The concept of socialization itself deals with various aspects. We are interested in democratization or easy access to technology and people’s relationships. If everyone copies the social behaviors portrayed on television, our society would lack morals, and many individuals’ lives would be destroyed. Technology can harm or enhance your social skills and social life. It can be argued that the technological benefits of social media and online technology outweigh the effects on socialization. Thanks to the lower cost of communication and greater ease of freedom of speech, technology has brought a positive new twist.
