BRAGGERS OR LONERS, KINDS OF FRIENDSHIP


Braggers or Loners, Kinds of Friendship in 2030


Written By Shamninder Sahota


As of some great who said we choose our friends while family happens to us, this statement is true. But the trends in our society today have become of that the family is all we confide in mostly. Our time that we have is currently divided into work and the rest on Social media platforms such as YouTube, Twitter, Facebook and the likes. Everyone seems to be living on their phones at all time. 
In 2030, the generation would so be addicted to social media, I could so be a generation which is so lonely at the same time it has so many more followers. We can’t only blame the gadgets, but the work loads are equally to blame. Everyone posts about where they travelled or where they ate. All the brag on social media sometimes can cause jealousy and competition amongst peers which can further the thought of isolation (Delgado, 2019).
As we can all predict, by 2030 every generation is going to be on social media, “In 2005, 5 per cent of adult internet users in the US reported using social media; in 2016, that number increased to 79 per cent. Given the present rate of growth, we could be looking at certain societies having 100 per cent of adults with internet access on social media” (Business Matters, 2017), which is evidently true in 2030. But by 2030 everyone would on social media, be it children or adults which impact every aspect of our lives.

WOULD SOCIAL MEDIA THE ONLY WAY TO MEET FRIENDS IN 2030?

Would social media the only way to meet friends in 2030? Written by Fernanda Araya. Nowadays, we make friends in the real world and on social media, but it seems that in the future, this trend might change. One of the biggest social media platforms predicts that “Facebook will have 5 billion users by 2030” (Shah, 2016). This prediction might indicate that future generations would prefer virtual connections rather than real ones. We can assume that they would create powerful campaigns to promote virtual connections in the year 2030. Social media left one key component out related to friendship, which is trust, and according to Botsman, trust is “the glue that holds society together” (Botsman, 2017). So, according to this information, we don’t know how these relationships are going to prevail with time. It might be that future generations will have superficial relationships, and they probably might value other elements in friendship, changing the concept altogether. ...

SOCIAL SKILLS ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND IMPACTS ON FRIENDSHIPS IN 2030 Written by: Valéria Santos On previous posts, we’ve discussed about some challenges of interpersonal communication on social media such as the lack of non-verbal cues and how this affects the forming of relationships, we’ve made connections between the lack of cues on social media and conflicts, discussed empathy and how it affects adjusting behaviour and talked about how social media can help more introverted people interact and make friends online.
