Hi,
Ericka is right. younger people are so hooked to their mobile phones that 
they cannot imagine the real human interaction people used to have; rather 
than pllaying outside now, kids play on tablets and video games.
Young adults go on social media so much and do not interact as much. no 
wonder they feel lonely and feel a need to interact. Its sure a switch!

Sandy, I do think we need  a mix of the human interaction and electronic 
communication; its best for our mental health. I agree with you. Besides 
there are many benefits to face to face gatherings you do not get in online 
meetings; like shaking hands; hugs at a family party, hearing their tone and 
expression clearly, sitting beside them to look at mutual items of interest, 
or sharing a favorite homemade dish.

I heard social  media will decline though soon as people hav had enough of 
it and maybe we will go back to real socializing not social media.
Ashley

Ericka,

I was not aware of that change, and I think we need some type of balance
between the technology for communication, and the old fashioned way of
communicating in a more personal way like face-to-face, or even phone.
