This is an interesting time we live in. People, as I am experiencing, can be so connected as to be bombarded with information all the time. This is a time when social connections can overcome time and space and some relationships exist only in a parallel world we refer to as cyber-space. I just wonder if a person is happier now or is there still loneliness in this socially connected environment. Is mediated communication good enough or is there something missing. I like this new world and love the new experiences, but it isn’t the same for me. That’s just my opinion.
I guess that would depend on why a person uses social networking. For socializing or networking? And what drove that person to the digitalization of that in the first place? People? Physical area or problems? A class? You get what you put into something, every time.
