While reading the Room for Debate article “Is Digital Connectedness Good Or Bad For People ?”
I found it quite difficult to choose a side. Although social media brings us connection between family and friends from everywhere it is true that people create a figure for themselves on there. I eventually decided that digital connectedness although has negatives and positives the benefits seem more important than the negatives. With social media we can express ourselves and find other people from different places with the same interest and we can stay in touch with relatives who live far away. Without digital connectedness I wouldn't be able to Facetime my family or friends during this pandemic. Also I learned a lot about covid and other problems going on in our world all from social media. What are your thoughts on digital connectedness ? Do you agree that is it good for our lives rather than worse?
I think that digital connectedness is a very beneficial tool to have. The internet has definitely improved our ability to learn and communicate and as long as the user is aware of the fact that you can't believe everything at face value, the positives outweigh the negatives. The internet has made accessing information, communicating with people, and meeting new faces easier than ever.
