Do you think social media is making people lose touch with reality ?

[jminter2698]

I do mostly because of how much of the information about people through pictures and videos of them on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Instagram (and previously MySpace) that can be viewed and shared and commented on.Your relationships with your friends and family members become nonexistent because of it, strangers think they know who you are when they don't know you at all, they just like what they see on your page. It could be used as a way to manipulate people into thinking you are the person you claim to be by using fake names and locations, lying about who your friends and family members are, or even what you look like etc.

Yes, social media is making people lose touch of reality.

 

[Farooq]

It is. While I do see some people use it to enhance their experiences, I can't deny though that they are those who lose touch with reality through social media.

Yes...

People are slowly losing the ability to
communicate with each other in a civil,
face to face way.

I've never used any of it...& I never will.
