Check out this comic:
I find it so real in reflecting today's society. People heavily into social
media who use it on their mobiles are often obsessed and never seem to be ‘present’. I’ve witnessed myself the likes of Twitter, Facebook,
invading into the precious moments I have with my love ones.
Social media has both positive and negative impact on society. Parents and educators need to be wary of the unseen impact of social technology on the younger generation. For one, would language be affected as we get more and more used to text speak? Can meaningful social bonds and relationships be formed due to abbreviated nature of status updates or through social networks? I wonder....
very poignant. makes a clear point about the addiction and validation we find with social media. how do we regulate its impact for the new generation? how do we educate our youth in this new paradigm? and perhaps, they won't find it addicting in the way that so many of us do just because they'll have grown up with it and it won't have the same allure?
