LMAO, LOL (laugh out loud) when we're not even laughing
GN (good night)
Ily2 (I love you too)

All this tells us that we have lost touch with real conversation.
We feel the need to
stay connected
without actually
being connected

each other, only if
we can have each
other at distance
and in amounts we
can control"

 Media and technology play a
huge role in the way we think
 It can influence the way we
think about a person
 It can also change the way we
think about a product
We have to find ways to use
technology to help us get back to
our real life, image, and real
relationships.

• Being familiar with technology at a young
age can be a good thing but it can also
have negative effects
• Kids can spend countless hours playing
video games and searching the web
• This is because the kids of today have
grown up with technology
I remember running to the house phone
when it rang hoping it was one of my
friends calling. Now, kids text each other
to let each other know they are going
to call.
• Some parents would rather let their child
use an Ipad to entertain themselves rather
than giving them real attention and time

Years ago, making a living from social media was a crazy thought.
 Robots are used as companions for the
elderly in some homes
 We feel lonely but don't want intimacy which
is why robots are successful for that purpose.
 Robots don't have the demands a real
friendship does
 Although robots are a great invention, they
don't compare to human interaction
Studies show that after using
technology and social media for so
long, people begin to feel lonely
When we feel lonely we think no one
listens to us. This is what causes over
sharing on social media.
It's much easier to write an angry post
than to talk about the problem. We'd
rather make a post with a hidden
message that is so obvious
We have replaced real life
conversation with FB posts and tweets
