Everything is in process and ways of communication are also changing from time to time. I've been doing social media marketing professionally and I believe it has alienated humans to some extent and here is how:
Previously, we had job, family and friends to spend our time with. We still have the same 24 hours in a day. Job still takes away our 9-5 time. Family is getting time because we have to come back home everyday. Real interactions with friends is what has affected the most because there is a new time consumer in our lives and that is Social Media. It's addictive and can eat up all our time hence there is no time left for our real interactions. Even during real interactions, many people keep using social media apps and thus they are not mentally present even there where they sit:
I really liked the discussion and I'd like to keep engaging more in sch discussions. Steem On!
I agree, it does eat up time. But you can spend time on social media and still have human contact, if you dn't use social media while you are with people. If you use it when you are alone, then it doesn't change anything really. Thanks for the feedback.
