Kirn describes the shopping mall as an alternative to home because although it's a big building full of many different varieties of stores from fashion clothes to the home necessity to luxury. But it is a place where people use the shopping mall as a place to hang out with friends beside the home. It is also and a place to relieve stress and to relax. In further more the shopping mall is a place where you can be lost in times. Instead of going to the mall to socialize with friends and go window shopping and hang out. Today, people often order stuff online and avoid interaction with other people. It is proved that according to Forbes on their article by Tim Worstall “The Shopping Malls Really Are Being Killed By Online Shopping” states that more retail company are moving online where there's company offers their products at a lower cost with a percent off. This is the reason why people are willing to shop online also rather than shopping online can be convenient.

This results due to technology and culture shift influences on social media. Because today people are abusing the use of technology and turning it into social media. According to No Bullying on their article called “Social Media Bullying Has Become a Serious Problem”, states that cyber bullying is a serious problem that affects the lives of teens and people who have been bullied into creating a depression that has leaked some people into commit suicide. Not only does technology advance abusement creates cyber bullying, but it also influences kids into bed influence on the negativity of cyber bullying into doing it. Kirn has stated in the article that technological advancement has created people into having less interaction with each other. Although it may have caused less interaction with people it has created people into being lazy. With the Idea of things being more efficient than before with the cost of the product being cost less. Not only does technology influence with fewer interaction people do abuse the usage of technology such as bullying people and harassing people with technology usage.

Yang states that it has become easier to cause bullying or harassment through the internet recently. His statements are very true, the recent burst in social media leads to sharing about your life and the people around you, and it may also result in people harassing you and/or your loved ones. In Chelsea K. Anker’s research submission, she states cases of abuse drawn from cyber-bullying and the many results upon those
When Montag was trying to have a conversation with Mildred and her friends, “the three women fidgeted and looked nervously at the empty mud-colored walls” (91). Getting nervous while talking to someone is a sign that they are not comfortable with social interaction. The women are looking at the walls in despair because they do not know how to act without their programs. Being heavily reliant on technology affects human’s social life, causing a less informed community. In today’s society, people “are often, more comfortable with technology than with actually ‘talking’ to people.”
And it is these impacts of change that people need be watchful of. With any amount of change there is the possibility that it will either have a negative, positive, or neutral affect. Those whose lives have been negatively impacted by technology use the argument that technology is to blame for the loss of human connection. While those whose lives have been positively impacted by technology argue that technology has improved their communication with others, especially for those who are unable to have face-to-face conversation. But for those whose lives have been neutrally by technology, have little interaction with technology, causing them to have little to no opinion on technology. This is where the problem lies. Technology has caused a social divide. Though technology has become more accessible it is still very expensive, there is still a social divide. As technology advances, and continues to better people’s lives there are some who are unable to afford the newer technology. People who are part of the upper class, are allowed the latest form of technology, that seems to only benefit them, while others in the lower class are using older and slower technology. The largest disadvantage of this can be seen in the education system. Children who grew up in lower income school district, did have an education with newest technology. Their lack of access to advance technology can prohibited them from learning the newer technological skills that are economy
But this has ceased to exist after the introduction of Smartphone 's and the internet. People prefer to chat in the many social media offered on the internet and accessed by their Smartphone 's, play games, listen to music and even blog than strike a conversation with a person sited next (Tuckle, 2011, 23). As much as people are communicating more, a threat of communication becoming more of quantity than quality is emerging. As much as the use of Smartphone 's and internet has expanded people socially and geographically, it drives people from authentic relations. Too much use of Smartphone 's and web results in declining people social circle. It is a fact that the more time people spend on their Smartphone 's and the internet the less time they has with their families, friends and other people in the society.
Over the years technology has evolved tremendously and has helped humans in many ways, from the entertainment business all the way to the medical field. So why would anyone think it has separated us. Older generations believe that it has made the younger generation less social. Many older generations, including my parents,think teenagers spend to much time on the internet and it’s taking away from face-to-face interaction. I will admit there are people who abuse technologies such video games, and social media. But like any other activity, the use of technology can be abused.
Everyday technology has become a strain on the real world. People would rather have a conversation online than face to face. In today’s society, everything is seemed to be done online, whether it is having a conversation or even trying to make new friends. In The Flight from Conversation, Sherry Turkle asserts that technology has had a negative impact on how we socialize with one another, lessening the conversation. Turkle, who has spent years researching the relationship with technology and humans, uses real world situations where technology has not only changed the way someone socializes but has changed their persona and character making the audience feel pitiful and reflective of their own actions. The author also uses logical reasoning
Social media is destroying today's kids because of cyberbullying! Cyberbullying is bullying that takes place using electronic technology such as cell phones, computers, etc. Mostly on social media sites. When it comes to cyber-bullying, they are often motivated by anger, revenge or frustration. Sometimes they do it for entertainment or because they are bored.
Everywhere we look around us now is some sort of technology taking over and the problem with that is we no longer engage with one another as we did twenty years ago. It was not long ago that hand held devices were non-existent. During those good ole days people sparked up conversations during dinner, they were caught outside passing around a ball with their children and hardback books were not just on a shelf as apart of the décor.
Social media can be a platform where you interact and have fun with friends,or get picked on and stalked by adults. Bullying is a serious problem in the U.S.Because of social media people do not have to be face to face to talk. They feel they can say anything and get away with it.This is called cyber bullying when you bully someone over the internet (Social). If you put abusive posts on someones pictures that can be looked at as bullying (Social).
Bullying has gotten so bad, that it has often lead to self-harm of those being bullied, and tragically, even suicide. For the bullies? The use of social media has made their targets an even greater target. Not only can they physically abuse their victims, but they can mentally and emotionally abuse their victims 24/7. If that does not sound bad, just think about how many of those bullies are being influenced by their peers!
When there is such a rise in social media, people are able to say what they want because they feel safer than they would in person, which can lead to a rise in cyber-bullying.
The question asked by many professionals is if technology has inhibited human interact, more so looking at social interaction face to face. Society has gotten to a period where teenagers, or even young adults, have never experienced a time without technology. Todd Link, a writer for the Telegraph – Herald in Iowa, communicates in his article mainly about the effects of technology and what the older generations think in this technological era. “The older generation [is] venting frustration over the work habits, social skills and lack of face-to-face communication skills of other generations”
Furthermore, The amount of bullying on social media is outstanding! Some targets of social media bullying have said the bullying follows them everywhere. According to, “What is Cyberbullying?” “60% of targets said that their online experiences as a target of cyberbullying affected them at school, home, and with friends, and reported experiencing feelings of frustration, anger and sadness.” Another quote from “What is Cyberbullying?” “81% said that cyber bullies think it is funny.” Something that a bully thinks is funny can really harm someone's life and well being.
