How we interact

 1)

Social media has redefined how people communicate today. With the Internet being accessible mostly anywhere around the world, anyone could contact anyone continents away in seconds with the click of a button. Its crazy to think of how far communication has come even in the past 60 years. In some ways, I think that communication is bad from how easy it is. Instead of going out and getting the nerve to talk to someone in person first, some people will just talk to them on Facebook. Instead of asking a girl out in person, some people do it online or via text message. Some people say things to others online that they would never say in person. Some couples talk all the time online or via text message, but hardly talk and are all awkward when their in person. For these reasons, I much prefer meeting someone in person and getting to know them then before I talk to them over the internet or text message. Already knowing much of what there is to know about someone and already of had many general conversations over the internet or text message and then meeting them for the first time just seems artificial and weird to me.
