In silvers eyes the relevance and key roles that social media
plays in our society today has caused far too many people to be consumed by it,
and treat it as their only resource to interact with the world. Although a
proper balance between interaction with people as well as interactions through
social media can broaden a persons experience by allowing them to meet new
people, this can also be counter productive if an individual isn’t careful. For
example, a man or women can become so used to interacting with people and
socializing with people through social media to the point where it becomes face
to face contact they are clueless about how to act due to other things that
come into play during face to face interaction such as eye contact, posture,
and body movements. However, on the flip side of this if a person is able to
handle both sides of this then the social media aspect of the world we live in
today can prove to be extremely useful. For example, a man could either be
attempting to get his face out there for a job or potentially even just trying
to impress a girl and get her to go on a date with him. In this case the man
can use social media as a way to get ahold of these people without having to go
through the trouble of trying to find the person by phone number or finding
them in person. If the man then applies his face-to-face social skills he is
now looking at the opportunity to arrange a meet up with these people that he
never would’ve had the opportunity for without the use of social media. All in
all I think social media can be detrimental to peoples lives if they allow it
to alter them, but can also prove to be a very valuable asset.
