The network aspect of social media is something that I battled with friends all the time. The benefits and the downside of it are both equally impactful. Network in social media allows for a person to keep up with the lives of multiple people that they are close to even without physically talking to them. It helps bridge the connection between people even if they are across the world. The downside to this is that people can develop relationships and an understanding of their relationships through this virtual network and when they finally get the chance to see each other in person it can be a very different experience. Another drawback is that this virtual network can keep people from taking steps towards physical interaction because they find comfort in meeting people in this virtual setting. This can be seen in the many different dating apps that have been created where people do not try as hard to meet people during their everyday life but work towards creating this virtual connection first and then building off of it.
