I think We should approach social media with careful consideration to make and maintain meaningful connections. While social media  is a good way to stay in touch with the people we care for and express ourselves. It is important to know our limitations. As Maria Konnikova highlights, how social media makes it seem like we can have an unlimited amount of friends because of how many people we can connect to. Which means we should try to have deeper relationships rather than just collecting a large number of connections that aren’t real. So it is important to limit yourself. Yes, social media is a great way to stay connected, and all but it can become a problem  when people are on it 24/7 forgetting the real world and real connections. and sometimes that could cause people to have depression. It’s good to sometimes step away and go out there to interact with other people face to face. It is important to balance online and offline connection for our own good.

after: we should approach social media with care to maintain meaningful connections. while platforms like Facebook, and Instagram.. help us stay in touch we should also include in-person interaction. although some people may say that online interactions are just as valuable. but just as Kournikova said the amount of friends we have online doesn’t mean anything because there not as deep as in face-to-face interaction. so even tho social media helps us connect it doesn’t replace the value opf the face to face interaction.
