Consistent with Kraut et al. (1998), who found links between Internet use and loneliness
and depression, Internet users who were less satisfied with their lives and who used the
Internet for interpersonal utility reasons had greater affinity with the Internet. It seems
reasonable that those who use the Internet for social contact, and are less satisfied with
the quality of the social interaction in their own lives, would think of the Internet as being
more important to them. This affinity may be due to the nature of the medium, which limits
nonverbal cues, bypasses physical appearance, and allows the user to create a new

identity, if so desired (192-3).


Those who felt valued in their interpersonal environment considered the Internet to be
primarily an informational tool, whereas those who felt less valued in their face-to-face
interaction turned to the Internet as an alternative, interactional tool. (191-2).

For example, using longitudinal data across 73 households, Kraut et al. (1998) found that
greater Internet use related to reduced communication in the household, smaller social
circles, and greater senses of depression and loneliness. (176).

Social media historian Alison Graham expresses her point of view
about the impact that the use of social media has on the relationships
between people. The attention that the cell phone demands on people
is greater than the importance of personal interaction and
communication. Cell phone use has been done even while driving and
has been made the greatest cause of diving accidents while surpassing
the number of drunk driving accidents. Todays jobs demand that even
when taking vacations workers are expected to check their emails
making them stay connected most of the time. Teens are also staying
connected and are making social media a way to make them feel good
by raising their self esteem. Social media can be used in a positive
way. This source will help my research paper because it describes the
impact of social media on human interaction.

TEDxTalks. (2013). A year offline, what I have learned | Paul Miller |


TEDxEutropolis https://youtu.be/trVzyG4zFMU

The American Technology Journalist Paul Miller unplugged off the


internet for a whole year and described his experience and the learning
from it. The internet and social media has made an intervention
between the journalist and the people that he valued the most. While
staying away from social media there is more time to spend on oneself
and reflect for improvement. As the internet is full of information, the
updating is constantly changing. There was information that he missed
and was hard not being able to relate to his friends. He also missed the
opportunity to interact with his nieces through the internet. He learned
that he can have the power over the internet and not let it be
otherwise. This course is relevant to the effects of social media
because it describes how the internet takes so much time away from
you but it also provides people with information and experiences

Neuroscientist Dr. Joe Despenza describes the effects of the use of


social media on our brains. While using social media people are
constantly changing their attention from photographs, comments, and
typing here and there and as anything else, the more frequent we
perform these actions, it becomes a habit. The habit that people

develop by the usage of social media is one that focuses our attention
on something for no more than fifteen seconds and then later feels the
urge to not waste any time and focus on other more important
things. The moment that one does not pay attention is the moment
they stop learning. This source will help my research paper because it
informs my audience about the effects of the habits attained by the
use of social media.
