Scott1812: Is social media killing the art of conversation.note I don t mean faster.


I think social media is a great tool for enabling conversations, after all here we are conversing over the internet and yet we're separated by thousands of kilometres/ miles. You only have to look at this forum or any like it to see the intensity and passion that some people will engage others with. Through social media I have expanded My immediate circle of friends to include people of differing views, religions and races, something that probably wouldn't have happened in my little white anglo saxon community.thumbs up wave

Interesting question, Scott. As I have sat in numerous cafes lately and watched people typing into their phones instead of conversing with whom they are sitting with... I am wondering the same thing.

Before someone accuses me of mocking anyone just asking is all.


I wonder how people communicated long before technology came about?

I'm not a hermit! I still meet plenty of people and have face to face real life phone turned off conversations sometimes going for hours, but social media has allowed me to converse with more people than otherwise I would.wine handshake

I don't really think it is killing the art of conversation hmmm But it sure is helping me to see peoples priorities. I do not drive down the road talking or texting dunno yet I have threatened to exit a vehichle where the driver was facebooking??????? very mad It has actually expanded my vocabulary. And I have learned many things from social media that has had a positive impact on my everyday adventures in life. Yet as with most things in life I feel this is not a one size fits all. I think it really depends on the person, and what is going on with them in their life. It could enable some to stay home and not venture out into the everyday world. wine

I have no doubt social media, the technologies it uses, will kill off some parts of communicating as we know it.
I think it will be as abstract as painting sounds.
The written word that has no equal in mother nature.
The written words we take for granted.
The written words that killed parts of verbal communications.
The written words that have opened up a whole new world of communicating.
I'm convinced that 'social media' as we know it today is no more than prehistoric mud paintings in our cave of human evolution.
The wildest sci fi fantasies will one day come to fruition.
Doors will close forever, others will open.
It will not kill but it will change its workings.

In my country the most TV debates are birdcages with the same persons trying to disrupt each other, and talking about topics that they ignore, or about nonsenses or personal matters of somebody.

80% is disinformation.

Oh, I think "social media" means something different. Twitter and these things, isn't it?

Not sure about the answer, because this site could be included in that category and sometimes it's more interesting that other conversations.

Social media has gone beyond killing conversation, originality and thought and has moved onto corrupting the experience of life itself in the form of morons postng constant updates and fanatcally taking pictures of what they're doing instead of actually living it.

It won't be long until advertising, social media and the natural herd impulse of Humanity conspire together to annihilate all the depths of personality from the world and the Human race becomes 100% cliched thought as opposed to the mere 97% that it is today.
