How much of an impact does social media have on the socialization of people that completed the survey?
The survey was conducted among middle-aged individuals, based on the sample group that responded to the survey. A common trend that was noticeable among all these individuals was the fact that their preference for a modern, digital lifestyle was also reflected in the device they used and the hours the spent online. While all of them used the internet and all of them had a preference for social media, their choices and the hours they spend online is different. This difference was also visible in their views on the subject. The people who chose online communication to face to face spent more time online compared to those that preferred to interact in person.
How did the impact differ among the various age groups? Why do you think that this is the case? Explain.
At present, almost 90 percent population of the US own a smartphone, with more than 70% spending a better part of their day on it. While most use it to place phone calls or send a random text and email, others spend most of their time online. This also includes various online dating platforms for people between the ages of 30 and 40. Apart from social media, these individuals often also spend time on dating apps which takes up a better portion of their time. However, while the younger generation uses it as their most frequently used mode of communication, the older one would much rather prefer face to face communication.
Explain how social media affected people’s social interaction. Why is social interaction important to humans? Explain.
Good, strong and stable social interactions are key to fostering a good relationship. Human beings are often described as social animals. They need the comfort of surrounding themselves with people and their company in order to thrive. People cannot survive on their own, thus they form societies to ensure that they are, at all times surrounded by the culture of like-minded individuals and find solace in their company.
