30 Unexpected Ways Social Media is Changing the World

7. Social Media Making Us Dependent

Social media is making us dependent on itself. We have been using it for almost everything in our life, whether it’s for work, relationships, entertainment, studies, etc. 

To put it into some context, every minute we collectively send more than 30 million messages on Facebook and almost 350,000 tweets.

It has made us emotionally dependent on it as now people are okay not having face-to-face interactions or even talk for that matter. An emoji or emoticon has the power to describe all our feelings with just a click of a button. 

Sadly, if this continues, human language will be reduced to just symbols and expressions via social media.
