Noa Slaney's opinion on this topic is that digital connectedness is beneficial, because it's how most people become aware of certain issues. Emerson Csorba's view on digital connectedness is, "Online sharing and selfies erode the value of our private lives." He gives an example of an event that he attended about a year ago that was a gathering for change makers and making the world better bit by bit. And all he saw were a various amount of people on their phones, taking selfies, texting and scrolling through social media. Later he saw people's post of themselves at the event with inspirational captions on how they were grateful to be apart of such an event, that they didn't even participate in. I agree with Csorba, I honestly believe that online sharing destructs people's experiences and doesn't let people grasp these events to their full ability. A lot of people misuse social media to uphold an image of themselves that is the complete opposite of how they are.
