Problem: We've been reading and learning about how social media trends and how they affect our lives. Now let's brainstorm together to explore further. How have all of the changes in social media impacted how people treat each other, spend time with one another, and interact with each other? Is social media a way to form new relationships, date, share ideas? What do you think about this and why?

Over the years, social media has been our go-to for connecting with friends and family. Before social media, we used to have to get pictures of family and friends through snail mail. Now we can get them in just a couple of clicks right in my living room. Social media made a huge jump in connecting people when COVID-19 hit, and people were on lockdown and couldn't go out and get their entertainment. Social media took advantage of this and started coming up with different ways to attract all age groups. Now you go out and talk to people, and the first thing you ask is what their social media name is, and then give a funny look when they say they don't have social media. It has changed the way we function through our day and our lives.
