Is social media affecting our face to face interactions?

We blog,we tweet, we text and we facebook that all requires using a pc or mobile divice and we tend to forget about face to face communication. Ever since social media was developed people think that face to face interaction is overrated, personally I think face to face communication is not overrated at all. Face to face communication means being in the presence of another person whereby you see their body language, facial expression and hear their tone of voice. With the new developments in technology and social media we are starting to lose face to face communication as people are addicts of devices. In face to face interactions people can read nonverbal cues and understand how the other person feels, whereas in social media communication people can lie and pretend to be something they are not. When in a gathering people tend to bury thier faces in their mobile devices they become anti social.

People are starving themselves from human interaction and they substitute that with social media. Human interaction builds trust between or among people and that enables people to have a better understanding of one another. In our days people use social media for the wrong reasons, they create fake profiles and they pretend to be someone they are not. Im not saying that social media is bad but in some cases it does affect us negativley and it changes they way we write, speak and think.

In my personal point of view social media is affecting our face to face interaction and we are slowly losing face to face communication to social media.

This is an example of how social media is affecting our face to face interaction.
