This scholarly article by Dr. Kiran Bala discusses the impact social media is having on the people of today, focusing a lot on the populations of India (where the author is from). Even though the culture in India is different from the culture we have in the United States, the impact social media has had on people is still the same in both places. Dr. Bala discusses in the article about the amount of people connected via social media and what it has started to do in the younger generation as well as the older generation. Not only is social media destroying attention spans and changing cultures it is also changing personal interaction completely! People interact more online yet do not interact well in more personal manners, relationships are more of a public ordeal rather than being a private relationship, and the numbers of people that can be interacted with are increasing exponentially. I recommend reading this article because it bridges the gap between cultures to discuss interesting aspects of how social media is changing personal interactions.
