Social Media has become a way to communicate with others, but was it better before when we had conversations face to face? Paul Merchan, 33, father of two children, thinks that social media is a tool for communication and should be used as such, not as a replacement for in person interactions. Social Psychologist, Steven Young says that our interactions with others over the internet are not the same quality or as fulfilling as traditional in person experiences, and that what we are doing is not socializing but “social snacking.”
