Facebook, Twitter and youtube plays a lot of impact in our day to day life. There is no doubt on that. How often does it impact on human relationship can be a debatable topic.
To my experience, I saw it has variety of responses. Some have little or no interest in facebook posts, while some of us build serious relationship over messenger. It also is interestingly diverse among different age groups. Young people take social media seriously and older ones tend to shy away giving a lot of importance to social media contents.
While we keep digging into what really a social media is, the landscape has changed a lot. For many Facebook is a business hub, some use it for sole business purpose too. Naturally we can say social media is no more just fun or connection. It involves serious money, business and purpose. But is it far reaching enough to impact human relationship?
Friendship can really be strengthen with the help of social media, it can go busted too. Businesses have the most useful ways to find their engagement with consumers. And at times, if its big enough can influence government, politics and their people.
Some say its rational not being personal in social media. But my point is without being personal social media era wouldnt exist. Let me explain a bit: if we dont love to show where we took our dinner, we wouldnt post in Facebook. If we didnt like a particular singer, we wouldnt like or follow them. And without these likings/bias facebook would have no advertisers. So, while it might be prudent to be a little careful being personal in Facebook, i believe thats where facebook wants us to be in: Being personal.
What do you think about the Impact of social media in our personal relationship ?
