It has ruined communication. First texting abbreviations, then emojis as replacements for words, now it’s just like a post. Most platforms have removed the ability to dislike, because people dislike things in real life.
Reducing in-person interactions and connections. Some person right now thinks they have 300 friends because all of their Facebook “chums” added them because they were in the same class or grade in high school. But most are doing it because they themselves feel the need to have as many friends as possible, so it looks good on their page.
The concept of following people on Twitter or Instagram is laughable. All these followers, but none of these people are leaders. The irony writes itself
I like this and want to add something I think will be significant as generations pass. The fact that it encourages or at least seems to normalize incorrect spelling and grammar. I see 'break/brake" being used incorrectly so many times I have started to question it when I am using it now. When things are published normally, there is someone checking for grammatical errors and such. With social media so much text is being “published” with no checking whatsoever and I have a feeling that it is going to start affecting people in ways we haven’t thought of. It also is a little telling in my opinion of how abhorrent our current education system is.
The education system like you said is at fault for that one. The teachers are born in the year 2003 sometimes. Think about that. Lol they can’t teach thoroughly because they were the same ones on average who had bad education themselves.
I’m an autodidact, if I only had knowledge from my school system I’d be dumb AF (I use abbreviation as well), however I also comprehend things and can think freely. Something lacking by individuals dwelling in the realm of social media constantly.
You just wait until you see what this A.I. is about to do in the next 3 years to people’s mind. I’m having people already commenting on my post asking if something is A.I. because it looks unique. Sigh they already are losing the ability of perception, they will bond interpersonally with the A.I. and subsitute that with in person friends.
Yup. The fact that people are checking out on learning and relying on ai to answer for them is going to be a disaster with huge implications down the road. School and the act of being taught isn’t an inconvenience kids, it has a purpose, and relying on technology to do your work is a bad idea.

I can see the damage from kilometers away
