How has social media changed communication?
As time goes on social
media is becoming more and more apart of all of our lives. In order to
communicate most effectively we must use our resources to accomplish that. The
era of making a phone call, sending a fax, or writing a letter are out of the
picture now. Those are all lost arts of communication, we can now sit in the
same room as someone and shoot them a text instead of communicating with them
in a normal matter face to face.
There are so many things
that have changed in communication through technology and our ability to access
so many different kinds of social media. From social media, there is a lot less
face to face communication which has made conversations not as exciting because
people don’t know how to communicate anymore and feel like they are interacting
with people from what they see on social media. Life is all about connecting
with people and developing relationships with them and relationships are
becoming a lot less meaningful because people are shying away from interacting
in person and developing those social skills because it is much easier to carry
on a conversation through social media. Other examples are that there are less articulation
of thoughts, it is easier to reach people all over the world and it enables the
ability to spread messages to more people more quickly.
“Social media has become
an integral part of our everyday lives. We find and share our new favorite
clothing and food brands on blogs; we meet people with similar interests on
Facebook; we get our news in one sentence on Twitter; we share a pictures of
that awesome eggs benedict we had for brunch on Instagram and we can even find
our future husband or wife on dating sites. We have an amazing ability to be
connected, stay in-the-know and share our own interests, ideas and opinions on
just about everything.” (PR, Buzz)
