Will technology connect or conquer us?

Yes, I do feel like that young people today have an unhealthy dependence on technology but it's not only social media. It's also work related things, example being most of our work is online, there are also many schools are taken online, so it's not just Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. 
Yes, I do feel like people are communicating less face to face, but more through a screen. Many people feel like it's much easier to talk to someone from a phone than face to face. There are many benefits to using technology, especially being able to communicate with anyone around the world. With that ability we are able to understand and learn from others and see their views, which may be different from our own. Being able to communicate with people worldwide gives us a new perspective, getting the chance to communicate with others and giving us a new way of learning.    

I personally don't represent my authentic self on the on social media for many reasons and I am pretty sure that other people don't represent their authentic self for personal reasons. Many people fake their true identity in fear of people knowing their true identity. There are many people out there that fake their true selves and many people fear to put their information out there.
