1) Dickinson, Amy. “Ask Amy: Social media makes family members less social.” Washingtonpost.com, 13 Sept. 2018. Gale Academic Onefile, https://link.gale.com/apps/doc/A554151617/AONE?u=cuny_nytc&sid=AONE&xid=28497c09. Accessed 5 Nov. 2019.
I got this article from the academic one file database and found it interesting how Dickinson mentions how families are less social due to social media. Something I found interesting is when Dickinson mentions ” yes, you have a right to privacy. No, you will not receive it, certainly not while Granny’s got a Facebook account. And if you are in a public place or at a public event (a restaurant or a party), you don’t really have the expectation of privacy in a legal sense”. this portrays that not only does social media make people less social but it’s also an invasion of privacy. Nowadays instead of actually enjoying the moment and spending quality time with your family people can’t seem to keep their eyes off their phones to snap a picture or take a video and has become a serious issue not only for teenagers but for older people as well.
