4. In future, do you think social media will affect the way people communicate with each other?
Answer:
The internet and social media has drastically changed the way people all over the world interact and communicate.
One of the biggest changes in the way that we interact, due to social media networks, is the sheer number of people that we can interact with.
Before social media, we were extremely limited in our means to interact with others and we were limited largely to the people that we knew in-person. There were things we had to deal with that millennials do not have to. For example, your significant other’s parent answering the phone when you called, waiting for a letter in the mail, waiting a week to get your pictures that you sent off to be developed, and so on.
Another big change that has occurred is that there is now no filter on the way we speak.
In the past, unless you spoke to people directly, you had no way to get your message across regardless of your freedom of speech. Now we can use social media to get our messages out to thousands or even millions of people uncensored.
