The thing an social media is that it’s easy to block or ignore people. It’s easier to do than using a landline or coming to someone’s door lol. I’m not saying I’d do that but all this technology makes it easier to find where someone lives or goes to school, etc.
So it’s easier to teach them online but also easier for them to cut you off if they want. I didn’t grow up with this technology and feel it’s a double edged sword. We say “connect” to people but it’s not a connection unless I’m close to that person.
The word “friend” implies more than a superficial connection so I wish forums used another word like pal or buddy or something.[emoji17]
