Because of a situation that happened in my life, I had to get really savvy with social media - Facebook, chat rooms, Skype, etc. I found that there are a lot of things out there with the intention of connecting people together but that, in fact, pull them apart. I had a loving and nurturing relationship with a man for 10 years, and within 1 year of his going onto the Internet, we were no longer together. He felt he only came alive when he connected with others on the Internet and found our conversations, our life, boring and unfulfilling.
Does Social Media really connect people together? No. What I found is that you don't put the truth about yourself out there, you lie about every aspect of your life; isn't that sure to disappoint once you two meet? You lose the ability to relate to living breathing individuals sitting right next to you. Another thing about it, most of the people are young and just like to show their bodies. I'm not interested in the size of a man's (you know) who lives in Sweden or France. I want to have a meaningful conversation with someone; yes, it would be nice if it was someone who didn't live next door to me; but to talk about nonsense (and that's what they post), to me is a waste of time.
So I've decided that social as in social medial is not really social, and not beneficial to the human development.
