Communication has changed drastically over the years. In order to communicate, people used to send text messages to each other. What used to be actual long messages has changed to shorter abbreviated messages. People can just send a simple “Wyd” instead of actually asking how someone is doing, or what they are doing. People have become lazy. These days, some form of communicating is simply sending a picture of yourself on snapchat allowing the other person to see what you are doing; no words are needed. Communication has become lazy and short. Does this mean that people don’t actually care about you and what you are doing? People have to post snapchat stories of everything they are doing to show everyone. Not everyone fully watches all of these stories however. If you don’t know what snapchat is, it is an application for your phone in which you can take and send pictures to your “friends”. However, are all these people actually people who you talk to everyday? Do they actually care what you are doing at every moment? Some people pick and choose what “stories” they want to look at and what people they actually care about keeping up with. Personally, I just look at the few people who I actually care about what they are doing. In today’s society, a picture really is worth a thousand words. Throughout all of my classes, people are constantly taking pictures of themselves. This also poses another question as to if vanity is another issue of society today. Is the constant picture taking causing selfishness in society? I am certainly guilty of it myself; it is just the way of communication. Even in the hallways, people are taking “selfies”, sometimes even disrupting the hallway traffic. Pretty much everyone does it at least once a day.
