Has social media made us less social?


Has social media made us less social? Poll conduct on a debate website, showing over 70% being affirmative. People have questioned:

Where are the days when we had to actually make an effort to talk to people? Face to face interaction? The time when you had to ask questions and actually learn things about the person you were interested in...Now its all on facebook, twitter or instgram for all to see and know. No effort in that. Why actually talk when you can text? Why go on a date when you can Skype or face time? It just seems that social media has taken the effort of out of true social interaction, it is all about whatever is easier and faster.

This picture showing how human interation was lost before internet social media was born.
We can argue that it is the technology that made us losing our social abilities.

Elon Musk applied for a job at Netscape but was turned down. He later went to grad school as Stanford but two days into it, he went on deferment with the option to come back later. He started Zip2 with his brother and focused solely on it, while reducing his expenses to $30 a month for food. He rented an office, slept on the futon, and showered at the YMCA. In 1999, Zip2 was acquired by Compaq and Musk received $22 million from the sale.

Richard Branson dropped out of high school to start a magazine company called Student. He then started a mail-order record company called Virgin to help fund his magazine company.

Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard and started Microsoft with his friend Paul Allen, working on it full-time. They had been researching Intel’s 8080 microprocessor chip for a while, theorizing that computers with that chip would be affordable for the average person someday. When the Altair 8800 came out with Intel's 8080 chip, Gates and Allen knew it was time to make their move and start Microsoft and work on it full-time.
