  • 🫢Pros: Connectivity + real time information distribution = breaking geographical barriers → acces to updates / friends of shared purposes → forge global friendship and maintain long-distance relationship
    → rapid spread of news → one part of the world → broadcast globally within minutes → keep people informed → immediate actions for emergencies

  • 🙄Caveats :
    + the role of nonverbal cues in direct conversation ( clarify/ expression) → replaced by emojis and texts → shallow exchanges/ misinformaiton
    + fake news spread before the intervention of fact checker → misinformation → panic confusion , further consequences

  • 💀Detrimental impacts: ( attention span + psychological distress)
    + constant exposure to short-form content → expect instant gratification → lower cognitive stamina for reading
    + conitnuous intake of negative news → trigger fight-or-flight response → pay attention to negative events → chronic stress → mental exhaustion → pessimism


Many people use social media to get in touch with other people and know about news events

Cons > pros

31
New cards
  • Pros: Face-to-face communication

    nonverbal cues

    better understanding of emotions/intentions

    empathy + trust

    digital communication cannot fully replicate these cues

    emotional nuances become harder to convey

    misunderstanding / superficial interaction

    passive consumption of updates creates illusion of connection

    less incentive for meaningful interaction

    greater social distance

  • Cons Technology bridges geographical gaps
    → maintain long-distance relationships
    → families can participate in important events remotely

    → people can expand social circles globally
    → Reddit/Pinterest create communities of shared interests
    → unprecedented connectivity


Some people think modern communication technology is having some negative effects on social relationships ( opinions ) ( framing -may be in the conclusion : it is not the technology itself but how people use digital tools in their daily interactions that determines the quality of their social relationship)
