My research topic is Social Networking: Better or Worse than the Real Thing? In my project I will show both the pro's and the con's of using technology to interact with others. I will show this by using scholarly articles and other reliable sources and how there is always to sides to every coin. Where there are many individuals who use technology for personal gain as well as the goods of interacting with individuals digitally. In this day and age we communicate mainly through our phones and with that social media. We can never know who we are really talking to unless we met them in person. In reality we might be talking to a nice person but they could be pulling you along for the ride till they have no further use for you.
