Is Digital Media Bad For Us?

I don't necessarily think that Digital Media is bad for us. The technology & communication development has done wonders for our society. However, I think that Digital Media has lessened our face-to-face communication and has dulled our skills in the department. For example, in the film school, we have lots of meetings, but all these meetings are set up through emails, texting, and even phone calls. Usually, when we need to find someone, we call or text them. Even when our classes our cancelled we get an email about. Our school within UNCSA is probably the most technology advanced. 


As far as being "addicted to the internet," like any other addiction, it really depends on the person. Whether you have an addictive personality or not, or whether you have self control.
