This document discusses the impact of social media and technology on communication and relationships. It presents two questions about whether technology makes the world bigger or smaller, and whether it has damaged people's ability to communicate in person. Readers are asked to do research online to support their perspective on these issues.

1. For many of us, social media has opened up a world of
possibilities for communication and connection. Others see
social media and technology as barriers to more personal, face-
to-face communication. Address these two questions:
How do social media, texting, cell phones, and the Internet
make the world bigger? Smaller?
Have texting and social media damaged this generation's ability
to communicate in person?
Do some research on the Internet and use this research to
support your case.
