Is Social Media "Social"

My opinion is mixed on this statement. I do believe that now social media has gotten a little out of hand with Facebook having over a billion users everyday and other networks such as twitter and instagram close behind social media has in fact become unsocial. I think this as the question of how many friends you have on Facebook and how many you actually talk to. after all even if you talking all it is are pixels on a screen. From my experiences i have never recently had a conversation with someone or spent a day with someone without them picking up their phone and checking what's happening on Facebook. i myself try to avoid this as its completely avoiding the fact of social media. For example when you arrange to meet up with someone on Facebook most likely at some time they will check Facebook again for no reason even if you have already met up with them and the whole use of Facebook was to arrange to meet with you and be social however they completely blank out the world and use social media to escape the reality of having no technology for just a few hours. however responding to this point people from all over the world can contact each other in less than a minute which is truly amazing. Many people have met some amazing characters from all over the world using social media. plus this fact information is being spread faster than ever you can know anything that is going on by simply typing in the address or clicking on that f in the bottom corner of your iPhone or Samsung is a statement to what humans can achieve in just a decade.
