I agree because it is easier to type text to someone and move on to the next task that I need to do while the other person is able to think about their thoughts.

I think there is a time and place for both, but I do feel that our children are lacking in the communication skills that are required when put face to face.

There are times that social media and email can bridge communication gaps and allow for a fast exchange of ideas.  However, you cannot gauge tone of voice, mood, etc.

I used to talk on the phone all the time and now I rarely even want to answer when it rings.  Is that making me disconnected from the "real world"?

I agree somewhat.  It appears that people skills among young people today are lacking, which I attribute to a rise in social media, texting, etc.

I agree yet disagree as well. Social media helps me to stay connected with people I otherwise wouldn't be able to stay connected with and helps me to be involved in the lives of people I might otherwise not see, including family. However as a mother I do worry about the long term affects it may have on my children with how easy it is to bully over social media.

I think people can communicate with a wider range of people via social media. You are not longer tied to a geographic region but to the world.

My own children want to be on devices all the time. When they are they don't listen or follow directions. Therefore, in our house they tend to isolate themselves at times. I don't like it!!

I think it's a double edged sword. Social media can be very valuable for research, surveys, documentation, keeping in touch...however it can take away from necessary interpersonal skills that most jobs require people to have

I think you have contact with more people but the quality of interaction is more on the surface

Makes me think of "loner-type" people hanging out in their basement all day playing x-box live-video chatting with internet "friends."

I agree to an extent. I feel that social media has allowed connections to be made with people that are not otherwise possible. For example, I can talk to my family who lives in another country, for free, over the Internet. This is a much better option than calling internationally or even flying to see them. Technology really helps to connect people. But, I do know examples of people who "hide" behind technology and do not have the social skills to create positive relationships in their life.

I think it is funny that people consider the phone a different type of personal connection than technology with a screen.

I'm sure people thought phones were keeping people apart as well.

I think the Internet can both bring people together and isolate them. It really depends on how the technology is being used.
