Shifts and Changes Response

I find that the ongoing conversation, forever weighing the pros and cons of social media, has grown increasingly hypocritical and painstakingly repetitive. As a young adult, I am constantly bombarded with thoughts and opinions addressing the pressing matter of the effects social media has on our communication, specifically its ability to impersonalize human interaction. However, it seems as though they are just opinions because there is no action to follow. To put my ideas into perspective, my good friend and I constantly "poke" one other on Facebook, write short Tweets back and forth, maybe send a couple text messages here and there. Although, when we  saw each other in person earlier this week, we greeted one another with a huge hug and a plethora of questions about our daily lives and it felt as though we hadn't seen each other in weeks. As I grew concerned about this matter, I realized worrying or being upset would not change anything. If I want to feel close to my friends, then I need to make a real change in regards to my communication efforts (e.g., meet in person a couple times a week to catch up). If there is no change, then the way we communicate will not change.
