Social media has its own language and actions that would rarely ever make any sense when dealing with a person face to face. I think the first video shows how social media is focused on over-sharing, connecting and talking with people you don't know. While this may seem like you are being outgoing, it translates into very awkward situations outside of the internet. I do not know if this shows that we need to be more outgoing in our lives outside of the internet, or that our social media addictions are making us more introverted. Regardless, its clear that social media is its own realm of communication and language which does not translate into everyday interactions. Sun, 05 Jul 2015 20:35:04 -0400
