Social Media Said So
Yes, we are talking about Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and the beat goes on. These platforms were supposedly created for us to be able to communicate faster and more efficiently. Social Media was supposed to bring everyone together. No one can say it hasn't helped people stay "connected" but how does it affect us in our relationships? The birth of social media brought about sites like Blackplanet (They are still trying to get their groove back.), Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
When Facebook started it was for the college folks. You could check with other students and figure out what classes they were taking. However, it doesn't take long for a great innovation to be used for some bullsh*t lol. Not only was it a cool way to stay connected for academic purposes, it was also an easy way to send a message to the female that sat behind you with the huge rump shaker. The same one you were nervous to talk to. No need to be nervous now when you can just poke her to death on Facebook.
Social media omitted a lot of the courting and dating chivalry. It sped up the process making it fast and easy to "connect" with someone you admired.
Instagram, which seems like Facebook on crack, has made it even harder for us to concentrate on one thing for more than five minutes, especially when you have so many butt injected super strippers posting image after image.
How can you compete with Deelishus or Lance Gross?
Can social media take away from a relationship?
