Relationships and Social Media are the two most talked about topics among teens in society today, but are they being talked about in a positive way or a negative way or maybe a little bit of both? That is why I decided to pick this topic for my inquiry blog. I know I can get a lot of information on this topic including the answer to the question I asked above.
I recently read an article called "Couples, the internet, and Social Media" by Amanda Lenhart and Maeve Duggan. It talked about the internet, cell phones and social media becoming key actors in the life of many american couples. This article was written to see how american couples use technology to manage life, logistics, and emotional intimacy within their relationships. For example, in the article there was a specific place where it talked about positive/negative impacts on relationships from social media. It said that "10% of internet users who are married say that the internet has a major impact on their relationship and 17% say that it has had a minor impact. 72% of married adults said the internet has no real impact at all on their relationship." Amanda Lenhart is an expert in teens and social media and she is an associate director in research. I earned that 66% of adults are married or in committed relationships as of February 2014. This source has made me think about all the different types of technology that can impact all types of relationships whether it is positively or negatively. Lenhart, Amanda, and Maeve Duggan.
