“Technology ruins social interactions” EXPLAIN WHY MY BEST FRIEND IS ON THE INTERNET, THEN, IT CAN’T POSSIBLY BE BECAUSE I CAN’T SOCIALIZE THAT WELL IN REAL LIFE, CAN IT?
I know the post was referring to in-person interaction, and I’ll be honest, I kinda feel like technology has had a negative aspect on some things, especially in regards to in-person interaction. I agree with that sentiment. (And I’m a very frequent user of technology. I think I’m addicted, honestly)
But people who say that also say online interactions aren’t as real. Firstly, I didn’t realize that seeing a face was necessary to exchange words. Writing is real, right?
Goddamn. I can’t stand the Millennial V. Baby Boomer debate, but anyone who trashes online interactions can die. Slowly.
