Social media

I agree at social media had made us less social in real life. When I was primary 6, I started using facebook, and to realise that many users of facebook are actually less sociable or even much more different than what they use to be. For my case, after using facebook, I tend to use the computer and internet even more often. When I was invited to play soccer with my friend, it was raining, thus I was not allowed to go. However, unlike the past times, I did not feel too disappointed, since I was using the facebook. Then, I realise that in the past, people will buy gifts for their friends during the birthdays, however, now that social media is so common, most of my friends around me, including myself, know it is someone’s birthday only through facebook, and a simple “happy birthday” posted on other’s profile would do the job, rather than giving a gift with sincerity. Such an internet tool had resulted in lesser and lesser communications between people, activities that are meant to be done among friends can also be easily replaced. Moreover, instead of remembering, notes are made of the social media and there will be no mutual sincerity anymore.
