Social Media Assignment.

There was no social media when I was in high school. The extent of social media was passing notes in class...or is that more like texting? I suppose there are goods and bads to social media like anything else but for a teenager now a days I wonder if there is more bad than good. I feel that with the introduction of social media the youth of today are not learning basic 'social' skills, such as making eye contact when speaking to some one or even knowing how to carry on a conversation with someone in person. I have noticed this with my own children, I will try to have a conversation with them and they are looking all over the place or constantly looking at their phones. Sometimes I wonder what social skills we will lose as technology and social media advances, I think it is a little scary.
