On this unit we got to know more about social media impact in every life and each person around us, even ourselves. The dependance we have developed to machines, the loneliness in front of the computer and growth of the support groups are some of the reason why people need to wake up and break the bad habit of internet addiction.
Some of the vocabulary used here was the following:
- engaging in
- turning each other in
- fulfillment
- therapy
- present with
- compulsiveness
- surf
- anxiety
It is good to remember what the professor has been saying during this summer class, we need to handle the difference among noun,verb, and adjective and know this by heart. It is imperative that when speaking, writing or teaching we use the correct form of the word otherwise we would not be delivering the trust of a expert in the matter.
