Social media allows people to connect with friends and family but it may also prevent certain interactions and invade privacy. It provides new ways to find and connect with people but can also be used anonymously to bully. Everything posted is very public and seen by more than just friends, which could lead users to become paranoid and forgo sharing personal information to protect themselves. Discarding social media may be necessary to go back to only sharing lives with close friends and family offline instead of all of the internet.

DOES SOCIAL MEDIA PREVENT CERTAIN
INTERACTIONS

2. WHAT IS SOCIAL MEDIA?
• It is a popular group of websites that appeal to not only the younger generations but also
the older ones.
• The most popular are Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
• Facebook allows its users to keep tabs on family and friends.
• Twitter allows their users to “tweet” their thoughts or spread pictures.
• Instagram allows users to spread photos.

3. IS IT TAKING AWAY INTERACTION?
• By obsessing over these websites we hurt ourselves by either becoming stressed out or
simply forgoing our bodies needs.
• These websites provide new ways to bully and even do it anonymously

4. IS IT ADDING TO INTERACTION?
• Provides new ways to find friends
• Allows users to find long lost friends and relatives

5. ARE WE BEING INVADED?
• Everything done on these websites is very public
• Strangers to coworkers to even bosses can see what is posted despite not being a friend
or follower on these websites

6. TIN FOIL REACTION
• Since now the personal information is out, we must become paranoid
• I mean if anyone can see what is posted, we are now construed to forgo everything in an
effort to protect ourselves

7. ARE WE DOOMED?
• Quite possibly yes, we are doomed. Do not fret though for we can save ourselves!
• We must discard these websites so we may once again go back to hiding our personal
lives with our friends and family instead of the entire internet.
