Elevator Rides are Awkward: A Story about Social Media and the Generational Curse

by Mikayla Newton

Overview

The 21st century is an era of innovative discoveries. This includes the evolution of phones, which led to the introduction of social media. Social media, the internet, and other mobile applications have changed the way that humans interact with one another. Some may argue that this new media is taking over our minds and decreasing the amount of effective communication among people, but others use social media to their full advantage. Millennials and baby boomers have seen large amounts of change throughout the years of development in technology. With all of the time that we spend on our phones, it can sometimes act as a 'safety net' that we refer to when we are bored or uncomfortable. An example of this may be when we encounter an elevator ride.
