Is social media a problem?

[MrDawn]

Do you think social media is hindering our ability to form meaningful connections with others? Why or why not?

 

[PGen98]

Yes, because those who have grown up with social media have grown up with the mindset that it's ok to be a toxic individual and extol views so long as people give you a like. They live their lives around pointless metrics and forget what life is actually about.

 

[King Belieal]

Social media has raised a generation of people that don't know how to effectively communicate and build toxic relationships. It has rather raised a generation that believes everything is instant like Instant Messaging. They start relationships behind computer screens without real connections.

Social media is more of a place where transactional relationships are built. It was never meant to replace personal relationships. Hoping that social media would help people build good relationships is a mirage.
