TRANSCRIPT
Humans are naturally competitive, and Facebook, Instagram, and twitter appeal to that need to compete.
Even though our society has become connected, peoples behaviours have just become more accessible to be commented on.
These emotions are powerful reminders that we have become dependant on our technology to measure our self worth, and happiness.
Overall technology serves the purpose of bring us closer together, however in recent years individuals have been trading communication for connectivity.
This connectivity gives the illusion of increased
social communication, however we value a
breadth of connections, rather than deep
connection with a few close friends. (5)
