In my opinion I don't suffer from FOMO. I mean yes, i get on social networks. But I dont fear of missing out honestly, it took me forever to even figure out what “Twitter” was about.  I also, have a limit on texting because I don't like the way it makes my eyes feel .The way facebook hurts my friendships is like instead of having face-to-face conversations I just inbox someone. Sometimes, things you post as your status can get taking out of conflicts by your friends and start drama. However, I don't really use facebook that often I use twitter more often.The Author explains “According to research by the late Bernice Neugarten of the University of Chicago, who helped launch the academic study of human development, people choose most of their adult relationships, both friends and lovers, between the ages of 22 and 28” (par3,sen2). With this being said by the time were old enough instead of saying “I met my significant other at church, or the library” where going to be saying “I met my significant other on Facebook, or Twitter”. Human development is changing variously overtime and were getting more and more into the habit of using technology to communicate with others around us. I feel like we should cut technology a slack and get out there in face-to face communication again. Something else I agree on is when the Author said “The real thing young people should fear is missing out on those few, true, long-term friendships that make for a richer, happier life”(par15sen3). I highly agree with this statement because it describes exactly what we should be worried about instead of the technology communication issue.
