Social flamboyance is what makes the Internet the Internet. Twitter, Facebook, if you're funny and loud, you own them. This flamboyance however seems to only be online for se people. I for one am annoying and loud online and even more so in person, but there are a good number of people who manage to stay calm and sophisticated in person and shout their through social media. I'd pay you to actually say your tweets aloud if I had any money. Your friends are now based off of how many likes they get on Instagram. congratulations you are now a share of stock that people are ready to bid on in 3..2..
Starting friendships on the net is convenient and great as long as you continue them in person as well.
So many things in society started off as something good and was made to improve life. Humans tend to abuses everything (just look at the Earth!) and we have turned social media into something it was not supposed to become. We are not supposed to constantly checking up on how everyone is doing, it was just a way to connect us with people. Yet, we have disconnected with real humans because we are too caught up in our phones when we hangout in person
