Fighting the Negative Impact of Social Media!
Social media is, without a doubt, useful and exciting. It offers us so much information, so much fun content, and such easy ways to communicate. However, it is not all good. It also has a darker, more insidious side.
The term ‘urban loneliness’ has been mentioned more and more often in recent years. However, what is urban loneliness, exactly?
Growing up with social media certainly has its benefits. When used in moderation, social media can help children and teens make friends, maintain relationships, and even achieve better education outcomes.
Few things in recent memory have changed the world so profoundly as the internet. We live, learn, and socialize differently today from how our parents and grandparents did, thanks to the world wide web. And with the internet came the rise of social media in the early to mid-2000s. This means that my generation – the infamous millennials – and all those that come after us are growing up online.
Grasping the way social media and loneliness are connected points us toward a solution to one of the biggest issues in human interactions.
