Why social networking is antisocial us. Why
Answers
Social Media takes a lot of time. At least this was in my case. The whole day we are busy to connect with each other. We send a tweet, we change our status on Facebook or we change the status on our LinkedIN profile. But if we meet each other in ‘real life’, face to face, and there is a small silence we grab our smartphones and do whatever. Making a quick sidestep to the digital world, you might miss something! We’re using inanimate objects to convince ourselves that even when we’re alone, we feel together. And then when we’re with each other, we put ourselves in situations where we feel alone, constantly on our mobile devices. It’s what Sherry Turkle calls “a perfect storm of confusion about what’s important in our human connections”.
It’s not the people around us that do this. When I was on Facebook I always felt the need to check it whenever the world around me wasn’t that interesting. In every meeting, for instance, I checked my phone more than three times an hour! Nowadays I realize that the digital world, which is also part of the real world, was (and still is sometimes) of way too much value to me. So many new ways to share less personal things with each other. Time to go outside.
