RE: A world in apparent connection and real disconnection
Social media are taking our very essence of us, humans, which is interaction. Social media is also a cause of higher divorce rate, because we get lost in the fake life and think that's how our life or relationships should be and that's hardly ever possible. Cinderella movies, are fantasy stories, but nowadays, girls are waiting and hoping a prince charming should take them, so whatever a normal guy should do, is not enough for them because he can't meet their fantasy. And we see happy couples on social media, and we expect our partners to do likewise, but most of those happy couples are faking it, because why will I be recording myself when I'm in a good moment. All fake, in the need to gain more followers
Exactly, our life is centered in the networks and although it seems contradictory to be having just this conversation through a technological platform, it is also contradictory that people being in the same spaces talk more by messages through social networks than in person. I have friends who have forgotten how to talk looking you in the eyes because they can't stand their cell phone ringing and not being able to see what's going on, that's really terrible and that's how we are educating future generations.
