How We Build Relationships

Everyone particularly the young generally agree that the Internet has become indispensable to forming and maintaining relationships with friends, family, romantic partners, and even acquaintances. Now that we can interact with each other and keep each other updated on our lives more easily than in the past, the notion of intimate relationships has changed. With the advent of social media, you can now be on your breakfast table and be sharing the photos of the contents of the meal instantly with anyone anywhere in the world. It is now very easy to constantly update your networks with photos, videos, text posts, and more. That has helped to create a new sense of intimacy which did not exist in times past.

How We Socialize

The 21st Century saw a huge rise in social media and other interactive, crowd-based communication platforms. These platforms now make it possible for people to think locally and act globally with ease. People now share on social media ongoing information instantly as it is developing. With the Internet, a huge crowd of people can easily get involved in sharing and discussing an idea and everyone who has a say weighs in very easily from anywhere in the world. A quick scroll through any social media platform instantly gives you an idea of how personal life events are growing increasingly crowd-based. For instance, as love-stricken young couples announce their wedding engagements on Facebook, their graduations on Instagram, and pregnancies on Twitter, it’s easy to pick out comments from interested family members, friends, and even acquaintances giving their opinions — wanted or not.
