I think that electronic use through social media has influenced our personal intimacy in a good way. We can actually talk to people through video chat something that wasn't always done. I think just being able to see someone that's far away is a whole different experience than text and phone chat. Seeing all of our emotions just enhances the conversation and overall relationship with that person. We get to look forward to sharing our days with the person we miss, we get to see their reactions to our conversation. I think that's seeing people while we interact with them is something that  we all  can truly take for granted. Seeing the person laugh un video chat at the joke instead of seeing "lol" in a text is way more powerful.

Social media opens up doors for us to meet more people. More and more couples are saying they met their spouses or significant others through social media and chat. I myself have friends that I dearly love that I wouldn't have if not for social media.

Social media is great, but nothing compares to physically being with someone and sharing that time together. I thinks that's the overall message. I think Amusing Ourselves to Death could be a bit extreme at times but the overall message and point was given and seen.

I think if people can find a good balance between technology use and non-technology use then older generations wouldn't look at social media and other technological features as a  horrible thing.
