Welcome to Just how Social Are you?
The rise of networks and the use of social media between young adults from the ages of 20-30 years old has affected the use of verbal communication by having reduced barriers in communicating solely online. Communicating solely online has become prominent in the way people interact with each other in this generation leading them to become less interested in having in person conversations.
A website designed for young adults to become aware of how social media effects your relationships with others.
What's the problem?
72% of adults in the U.S. use at least one social media platform.
Communicating solely online has created barriers amongst young adults' verbal communication skills.
Social media interactions are now being the sole reason of how many of our daily interactions go, and this decreases the amount of genuine relationships people obtain and also lessens their language skills.
Statistically, 93% of communication is nonverbal.
