It includes platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram where people can communicate, share photos, and “like” people’s posts or pictures.

Will face-to-face communication be done through new social technologies? These questions are ones that many researchers have found extremely intriguing since the advent and popularization of social media in the last decade. Within this topic, social competency is an important ideal that most people strive towards, but there is evidence to support the claims that social media is actually harming people’s ability to interact competently in an offline setting. ]]> 2018-03-30 22:14:29 UTC https://padlet.com/abinayab/9d3et00igx1d/wish/247558301 Technology is Destroying the Quality of Human Interaction abinayab https://padlet.com/abinayab/9d3et00igx1d/wish/247558436 A quick little story about what the writer thought was a dream has become reality with social media taking over the world.]]> 2018-03-30 22:17:41 UTC https://padlet.com/abinayab/9d3et00igx1d/wish/247558436 Technology is Destroying the Quality of Human Interaction abinayab https://padlet.com/abinayab/9d3et00igx1d/wish/247558573 Photo by Andrea Rodriguez
She illustrated an image that speaks to what an effect technology has on us humans. It has adapted to having a general control over our basic communication skills. When you can quickly have a coffee and see your friends and have a conversation, or you can spend a day texting your friend back and fourth without seeing each other. Basic conversations have changed drastically.]]> 2018-03-30 22:20:50 UTC https://padlet.com/abinayab/9d3et00igx1d/wish/247558573 abinayab https://padlet.com/abinayab/9d3et00igx1d/wish/247558589 2018-03-30 22:21:10 UTC https://padlet.com/abinayab/9d3et00igx1d/wish/247558589 Technology is Destroying the Quality of Human Interaction abinayab https://padlet.com/abinayab/9d3et00igx1d/wish/247559117 This image shows that even within a home you can miss basic human interactions by bringing electronics with social media to the table which limits conversations within a group.

She talks about the effects of social media specifically on us and our daily general communication skills no longer happening face to face. 
Allison Graham offers an ironic view of a society that feels alone together despite the hundreds of virtual connections we have online. With a global population growing up via Facebook and Twitter and a perceptible shift in human interpersonal connections, the constant need for social self-validation permeates our daily existence. This talk shares the funny and revealing insights of a life lived online and how social media is used to connect and disconnect us.]]> 2018-03-30 22:37:23 UTC https://padlet.com/abinayab/9d3et00igx1d/wish/247559277 A year offline, what I have learned | Paul Miller | TEDxEutropolis abinayab https://padlet.com/abinayab/9d3et00igx1d/wish/247559500 Paul Miller is an American Technology Journalist from Springfield, Missouri.
During the past year, he decided to disconnect from the hyperconnected world in an attempt to 'find himself' and become more productive. He abandoned the internet and disconnected from all Social Media, returning to a life before the net, apps and smartphones.  

His experiment gained worldwide media attention when he published his article 'I'm still here' on The Verge. After a year of living 'disconnected', he published his findings and caused quite a discussion on hyperconnectivity and the influence of the internet on our daily lives.  ]]> 2018-03-30 22:43:03 UTC https://padlet.com/abinayab/9d3et00igx1d/wish/247559500 The Negative Impacts of Social Media on Face-to-Face Interactions abinayab https://padlet.com/abinayab/9d3et00igx1d/wish/247559614 Social media has led us to have fewer interactions with the people that they associate with. The majority of people have access to social media at any time they please via their smartphones, so this only worsens as more people begin to acquire smartphones. Since it has become more prevalent, social media has made people have a tendency to want to interact with people online rather than in person because it has made the process simpler. A simpler process allows for things to be done easier and more efficiently, which attracts more people to give it a try. Although it may be viewed as a positive change, this has caused people to become more antisocial than ever before, as counterintuitive as that may sound. Facebook was not an entity outside of the current generation and it has caused a bit of a culture shock. Studies have shown that people have less interest in interacting with other people both in similar age groups and with people that are in other age groups.
The world has changed into a society that is accustomed to sitting behind a computer screen. Social media is a leading cause of this issue of having less face to face interaction. These same studies have shown that relationships that form completely online are becoming increasingly common.]]> 2018-03-30 22:47:21 UTC https://padlet.com/abinayab/9d3et00igx1d/wish/247559614 abinayab https://padlet.com/abinayab/9d3et00igx1d/wish/247559731 This image shows an opinion from Albert Einstein himself where he says he fears a day that technology overtake human interaction and he fears that the world will have a generation of idiots. I find this interesting, because I personally do not think we have a generation of idiots , I feel that it shows that our generations are becoming more intelligent year by year incorporation technology into our lives, however I feel that we are abusing it and one day we may be losing the basic skills of being social and conversing due to technology.]]> 2018-03-30 22:51:13 UTC https://padlet.com/abinayab/9d3et00igx1d/wish/247559731 2 Educated Guyz: How Social Media Is Hurting You abinayab https://padlet.com/abinayab/9d3et00igx1d/wish/247559888 These guys talk about an experience they faced in the gym where they noticed people using their phones to search workouts.

Social Media limits social interactions and general daily communications between human beings and it is having a major effect on further generations. Society having access to technology from a young age and being commonly used and expected to have as an adult has people tapped into using social media and having accounts from new social media apps that are developed every few months. I like to think that I use social media as an outlet to simply stay in contact with my friends who I no longer have the chance to see on a familiar basis, however no matter how I think that, I can see how I do use social media in a sense for other things as well. It starts with seeing funny memes and pictures on Instagram of my friends to simply meeting people online and creating a new social media friend group. Instagram personal is a platform for myself I use to show my friends what I am up to and the different experiences I experience. I also use it to stay up to date in my friend’s life. I do realize that it simplifies my life by not having to meet my friend and get an update on how her vacation was, however simply going out on a coffee date and updating each other on your lives gives you both the chance to have a better description and image of how your friend is doing. I do understand that there are many introvert people out there and that social media is the perfect platform for these individuals to feel comfortable sharing and interacting with people. From my own personal experience, I see that I display that I am a very social person online, however, in real life, I tend to not go into much detail about my life as I feel that I bore people. The thing about social media is you have the option to listen and read someone story and not. I believe that face-to-face interaction must continue to be our main source of communication. Social media of all kinds has become such an important part of our society that looking at it in a negative way will only set us back. Society must push forward and continue to incorporate social media in more positive ways.
