According to the passage, why did social media become so attractive?
Social media websites arrived in the middle of a
dramatic increase in the quantity and intensity of human
loneliness, a rise that initially made these websites’
promise of greater connection seem deeply attractive.
A recent study found a complex relationship between
loneliness and social networking. Social media users
had slightly lower levels of social loneliness (the sense
of not feeling bonded with friends), but significantly
higher levels of family loneliness (the sense of not
feeling bonded with the family). It may be that social
networking encourages more contact with people
outside of our household, at the expense of our family
relationships or it may be that people who have
unhappy family relationships in the first place seek
companionship through other means, including social
media websites. The fears that social media is
distancing us from each other, making us lonelier; and
that social networking might be spreading the very
isolation it seemed designed to conquer highlight the
anxieties that social media have produced. In fact, what
social media has revealed about human nature is that a
connection is not the same thing as a bond, and that
instant and total connection is not a ticket to a happier,
better world.
