13. How Social Media affects face to face relationships? Internet is affecting us with our social lives and personal relationships. Due to the economy, people have the tension of wanting to stay in to save money. The economy has a way to stop us from what we are interested in doing.

14. Past Communication What we used to have: Communication was the first started before we even knew how to write a letter by body language Creating messages through craved on rocks Writing letters Messengers, travel and visit to pass along the message Be able to have full conversation without being distracted by technologies D.B
15. Present Communication Now we are: Able to communicate through telephones, mobiles, text messages e-mails and internet chat programs to develop faster, cheaper, multi-tasking for our communication Letters was replaced with e-mails and fax D.B
17. Interesting Fact The less people you see you will begin to treat them poorly and/or not be able to communicate with them because of time spent on the Internet. This can be good in a variety of ways as people can to greet and good for businesses. D.B
18. Main Idea for Future Communication What if we increase activities, live events, indoor/outdoor, festivals, etc. or any kind of activities that will bring people together, not just for work. It will require building personal relationships rather than simply communicating through the Internet. We can create activities that can happen throughout an entire year that will allow for people to realize that we have better things to do in life rather than spending most of our time on Facebook, Twitter and other networks. To make people feel more connected, trying to be popular is important while we can do that in person. D.B
19. Creating more entertaining activities for people each year is a great idea; this will allow for individuals to socialize with others in several ways. It is not for work purposes but to develop personal relationships. What this means is that people are surrounded by different technologies and depend on them for simple tasks that are to be done each day. To be able to socialize throughout these technologies is a reasonable way for people to meet others. It is also a good way for people to meet face-to-face rather than screen-to-screen, as some people need to break the ‘ice’ to be comfortable and be able to communicate with others. D.B
