How has social media changed Communication???

Social media just isn't very social anymore, you don’t even need to speak one word because there is so many ways you can communicate your thoughts/questions. 

You can get to know someone before you even meet him or her. Find out there likes and dislikes through the things they have starred on twitter. View your mutual friends through Facebook, while looking through their latest selfies on Instagram. 

How do you not judge a book by its cover when you can read their book online? Is this a front they are putting on... maybe a show??? They recently updated their Snapchat story with someone else so are they taken or still single?

>>>>Did I just read their social media book without actually even communicating with them?>>>>

We live in a world where the life of someone else is at our fingertips. I can Google the first person that likes this post and find interesting things about them, or things that have come back to haunt them. 

So who agrees that social media and our advanced ways of communicating is wrong. Or are you one of those who think that you can actually date someone before meeting him or her almost like test-driving a car, before you buy it.  

All the likes/dislikes that I have about social media is just my biased opinion. The Internet is there and blasted by the media of what looks like reality but is just a fantasy for those reading. 

We can portray ourselves in such a way we want the outside world to view us. We may be true to others and ourselves or we may lie and lead a fake world online that we pretend is reality.
     

I think in my biased opinion that we can agree that social media has changed the way we communicate. That’s why I am going to kick back, sip my diet coke and let you all wonder who I really am?!
