The Ugly of Social Media and Communication.
Social media continues to grow and allows millions to communicate instantaneously throughout the world. It has started to show many negative side effects in the next generations though. Often when online people revert to text slang, “idk, thx, k, bc, lol, etc.…”, which may not seem to be harmful but it is causing many to start transferring their text slang into their everyday lives. This is causing issues with grammar and can give off mixed messages when in person. talking in text slang to others in person can make it appear as though you could care less about being in the conversation which causes an unnecessary divide and rift between others. People become more afraid of talking in person than over their smartphones because with something between you people are unable to take their time to think of a response causing them to appear more interesting than they truly are.
