SOCIAL MEDIA AND FRIENDSHIPS EFFECTS ON EDUCATION

Social Media and Friendships effects on education

Written by Shamninder Sahota

By 2030, the evolution of social media and the availability of all content on the internet would also effect the education system. As everyone would be on social media, the predictions are that the Colleges would close due to the large fees and an increase burden on our youth. Looking at numbers from Apple ITunesU enrollment of over 1 billion students, alone can tell us how the trends will change in the future. (Frey, 2013)

If our children don’t get to colleges and form online learning, it would impact their friendships as they would not have the opportunity to meet their peers in the community and relying on Social Media friends that they can have in another part of the world, which in turn would cause very little to no human interface. They would be replaced with, “Social structures are changing and the value of relationships built in college, while often quite valuable, are equally often overrated. Just as a dating relationship today is far more likely to begin online, business and social relationships in the future will also happen in far different ways.” (Fred, 2013).

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.

LACK OF NON-VERBAL CUES ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND ITS IMPACT ON RELATIONSHIP DEVELOPMENT IN 2030

LACK OF NON-VERBAL CUES ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND ITS IMPACT ON RELATIONSHIP DEVELOPMENT IN 2030 Written by: Valéria Santos Social media has revolutionized communication and the way we interact with people. While on one hand, social media has afforded more possibilities for interaction and reconnecting with people you no longer have face-to-face contact with, social media hasn’t been able to allow users to use important components of in-person communication which favor interpersonal connections and relationships development (Venter, 2019). While we explore some of the ideas regarding interpersonal communication on social media and its relation to the establishment of friendships, we examine current social media contexts and technology available nowadays and make correlations with what we anticipate in the coming years, especially in 2030. If we think of communication technology available now in 2020, we see that written text posting on social media is still very much

HOW PEOPLE PORTRAY THEMSELVES ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND HOW THIS AFFECTS FRIENDSHIP

HOW PEOPLE PORTRAY THEMSELVES ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND HOW THIS AFFECTS FRIENDSHIP Written by: Fernanda Araya Technology is helping people with making relationships without the need for physical contact; in many ways, people get benefits from the use of social media. One of the benefits would be “For shy people and those seeking new friends, social networking provides an easy way to make the first overture of friendship. By simply clicking the “add friend” button, people can convey that they’re interested in getting to know someone, reducing a traditional barrier to friendship.” (Villines, 2012, para 5). But social media also allows us to create two versions of ourselves and sometimes our online profile is an upgraded version of who we are. This difference might affect friendship in the long term since people might start questioning which one is the real you. This type of pressure can be easily perceived when users begin “editing, censoring, and embellishing the tru
