Social Network's affect on interpersonal relationships

As twitter, instagram, snapchat, facebook, and whatever other social media sites are out there today, continue to expand and draw in more users, interpersonal relationships will continue to be affected. There is a certain confidence that people experience communicating through social media, compared to in person, that allows people to be disrespectful and say things that they wouldn't normally have the balls to say face-to-face. This allows relationships to deteroriate and people to publicly trash talk someone in an arena that wasn't previously possible. Everyone's phone is media-capable and basically an extension of their hand at this point, making people less likely to talk in person as well. Overall, I would have to say that social networks deteroriate regular communication in non-cyber society.
