"New Media Manners" By Blandina
I agree that people do not mind their manners because of social media. Due to the advanced in technology, people starts to communicate via email and SMS. There is less interaction with one another. People starts to get very active on facebook and twitter such that they will update and comment on their lives everyday, minutes and even seconds. They seem to be more concern with their social networking than in real life situations. I find it very rude to text or use the phone when you are out with your friends. It seems like you are not paying any attention to what your friends are trying to say in real life. Another example, now teens are often seen using their phone while walking on the street and even when they are having a meal. It has become an important tool in our lives.
For a relationship, it is not wise to confess or initiate a break up with the other party through online or phone. Even between friends, I feel that it would be better to do so face to face. As for meetings and lessons, I feel that people should not make an attempt to use their phone secretly. It shows that they do not have any respect to the person standing in front who is trying to gain everyone’s attention. It is also advisable to set your phone on slient mode.
In conclusion, it is fine to update your life on facebook and twitter once in a while but not too excessively. If not people would tend to ignore in real life which will then become a society problem.
