1. Insufficient emotional connection
A few weeks ago one of my buddies and I had the middle of a dispute and she revealed to me her thoughts about why she didn’t talk to me over the course of two weeks. I’m assuming it was extremely difficult to convey her feelings to me directly I was notified by text message. The downside was that I wasn’t sure whether she was truly sorry as I didn’t get it from her. The quality of conversations on social media is poor because it is impossible to sense the emotions or excitement of the other party. It leaves you wondering whether they really are serious about.
2. Lets People be able to be hurtful
I do believe that it has reached a level where you are able to make statements that you cannot say or say in the real world.
I’m shocked every time I see social media being used to harm people. I’m curious if this happens when writers forget that it is real life people who are behind that screen.
3. Reduces Face-to-Face Communication Skills
Computer dependence can hinder an individual’s ability to engage in an actual face-to-face conversation, as it can be awkward and difficult to listen and then respond with a thoughtful and thoughtful message via the spoken word due to the fact that one relies on keyboards to transmit the message.
4. Transfers Inauthentic expression of feelings
Social media conversations are full of “haha”, “LOL” and other exclamations which are intended to convey laughter. The shorthand is now routine and is frequently employed when the person sending it isn’t smiling, let alone laughing, in actual life. In the event that we’re able to use our “roflcopter” is employed in an opportune moment in which we replace actual laughter by using, in this instance an easy ten-letter acronym.
As per Robin Dunbar, an evolutionary psychologist at Oxford the physical act of laughing, and not the abstraction about something having a funny aspect is what makes laughter feel so satisfying. If we’re willing to replace something that we all enjoy, by a fake, typed representation that does not offer the same enjoyment What else could we be willing to trade for?
5. Reduces understanding and thought
Since the beginning of social networks it has been evident that the value of conversation decreased. I think that people spend all day online that they do not always comprehend the emotion, feeling and personality of the person they’re speaking to. When you speak to an individual via text and even through a phone it’s not always easy to understand their feelings, emotions or character.
Social networking has damaged the thought-provokingness of simply greeting people in person. For example, you can meet your acquaintance in Germany via Facebook and chat with them in a matter of minutes; however, what if there was no way to connect through social media? You would need to send them a letter, and that’s very considerate.
6. The Face-to face interactions cause people to feel Separated
When I look at my friends using their phones, and I am in their presence I feel disengaged even though we’re just two feet apart. ….. Sadly, there are times when friends use their phones in such a way that it becomes difficult to engage in a real dialogue with them. Sometimes friends can get so socially attached to something such as a blog or gaming console that they lose touch with friends, creating small gaps and holes in close friendships/relationships.
7. Facilitates Laziness
The modern age of social media can lead to lazyness since instead of rushing to your friends, you can text them. Instead of rushing up to the kitchen to inform my family about dinner I could blog it. Social media has made life so simple that it causes laziness. I believe that staying healthy is vital, but it’s difficult to move beyond the new status of the art.
It’s extremely easy to go through endless hours doing nothing. ….It’s the best way to spend time.
8. Social Media creates a false self-image
We make up stories about ourselves, and then create things we’re not. We share pictures of ourselves looking flawless and post the great news. We don’t share pictures of ourselves when our dog passes away or when someone we love quits, or when we lose our job. We do not share the sad news that constantly bogs down our lives. We all create this ideal self-image and certain of us even depend on the image we create of ourselves, instead of remaining true to our own identity.
9. Reduces Family Bonding
Texting, Facebook, Twitter as well as Gmail are a way to separate us away from family more so than we believe it does. …. When my family members are spending time with family while watching a film, actually, my brother and me are on our phones instead of watching the film with our parents.
10. Distractions that cause distractions
When I pull my phone in hand it makes me feel like there is nothing happening around me. I make use of social media to try to feel valued, famous as well as to be a part of the group. My friends and I constantly evaluate ourselves against one another, pondering who has the most Facebook friends or followers on Twitter. What really is happening is that I speak less often and eventually using text messages for conversation. Since the day I bought an iPhone, I’ve been completely distracted by everything. I have less time to watch TV and I do less homework, and spent less time with family and friends.
