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).

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 ...

SOCIAL MEDIA AS A PLATFORM FOR SOCIALIZATION FOR SOCIAL INHIBITS AND THE FORMING OF FRIENDSHIPS IN 2030

SOCIAL MEDIA AS A PLATFORM FOR SOCIALIZATION FOR SOCIAL INHIBITS AND THE FORMING OF FRIENDSHIPS IN 2030 Written by: Valéria Santos On our last posts, we’ve been discussing about some challenges of interpersonal communication in online contexts and relationship development. We’ve talked about how the lack of non-verbal cues prevent users from experiencing a sense of the other, which may impact the forming of strong bonds and relationships. We’ve also discussed that the lack of cues on social media leads to more frequent misunderstandings and conflicts and that the lack of empathy also affects adjusting behaviour and influences sustaining friendships in online contexts. However, while writing about these topics, I’ve also come across some articles addressing how social media can be a platform for socialization and how people who are more timid or who have a more introverted personality feel more comfortable and less intimidated while interacting in online settings. As ...

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 go...
