· I like to share an interaction from two students on the following postings. Your thoughts?

I wanted to share a website that I have come across that goes into detail in regards to the many pros and cons if you will of social interaction on social media. I wanted to talk about this website because I really do not agree with many of the things it says. the website is titled " Benefits of Online Social Networking" Right off the bat this website states " Kids can gain social confidence from interacting with other people online, which may help them feel more secure in new situations, such as going to college, joining a sports team, and meeting new friends." I disagree. If a child only gains social confidence talking behind a computer screen the child will lack interaction when going outside and playing with other children. If you talk just online how can it make you more secure if you talk to a person face to face wouldn't that make a person have anxiety since you're not behind a computer screen? I do see how social media is a benefit by allowing people to search for information and provide examples for others to learn and gear from. So my question is this, do you agree or disagree?
