Can social networks such as Twitter and Facebook eventually destroy all real social interaction? - EconStudent - 10-15-2012 08:15 PM
Social networks have had great impacts in our developing world and more people are choosing to join everyday. Do you think social networks such as Twitter and Facebook can eventually destroy all real social interaction and evidence of culture? If so, how?

There is a book that extrapolates on this actually. It's called Feed. I believe they can, because technology advances very quickly and it is possible we will have devices that can do talking. But I also would say no, because there ARE rebels and anti-tech people still.

God, I hope so. I hate talking to people face-to-face.

No, not at all. They can be abused just like anything else, but they're not some sinister social killer.

No, only if all people on the planet become hopelessly addicted to them, which is a very big if.
People used to say the same things about telephones and television, cars and planes, and radio's and books before that.
