How have your relationships developed differently via use of social media, such as Facebook?
We are now facing new communication and, particularly, social media technologies whose effects we do not yet know. You have likely already felt the impact of increasing communication technologies in your own life. Answer the following questions:
- How have your relationships developed differently via use of social media, such as Facebook? What are the benefits of Facebook and other social media tools for relationship management? What are the drawbacks?
- What impact does Facebook have on self-disclosure? How does increased or decreased self-disclosure impact your relationships with those on Facebook?
Given that Facebook is largely image-driven, what impact does Facebook have on your perception of the way that others live their lives? Do you perceive others as relating to you in the same way as before? Or do you believe others’ lives are very different than yours?
