An article that was posted earlier this month, Most Say Social Media Time As Good As Real Life, suggests that time spent with friends on social media is just as valuable as time spent face to face. This article stated that they got their information from a report, however the report was not clear on whether there was a preferred form of interaction with others. Most of the people the article quoted stated that there is no replacement for face to face communication. However, that does not take away from the fact that social media is still appreciated. Since real life and social media are interconnected it does make sense that each are valuable.
This article connects with what we are learning within this first module because I would think that most of us use social media one way or another; whether that be using social media for personal use like forming friendships or for professional gain. How we view social networking compared to face to face interaction may be something to take into consideration.
