Take a look at these two Ted Talks. Comment on them with your thoughts about social media.
Do you think that the internet has made your life better?
Do you think that it has made your social connections stronger or has it made you feel more alone?
Do you agree with this quote: “I’ll tell you what’s wrong with having a conversation. It takes place in real time and you can’t control what you’re going to say.”
What do you think of this quote: “ those little devices in our pockets, are so psychologically powerful that they don’t only change what we do, they change who we are.”
What about you? Can you walk away from your phone for an hour?

3. No. I don't agree. If we all just lived by that quote we would end up not talking at all and only connecting by internet and stuff like that. If I write something sarcastic to someone they can easily think I'm not sarcastic. But if it's in real life they can see that I don't mean it.
