It is true that some people do get so attached to the internet that they hardly ever go outside. In a survey done by the Stanford Institute for the Quantitative Study of Society, the results show that 13 percent of heavy internet users reported that they spent less time attending events outside of their house (Nielsen). If 13 percent of internet users are already spending less time at events outside of their house, then there are many other users that are going down that path if they continue to be glued to their devices. Even though that is true, does social media not allow people to create those events that the 13 percent refuse to attend? Nobody sends out paper invitations anymore if it is just for a party or meet up: everyone uses e-invites …show more content…
I have met a few people through a writing website where people may share their stories. I have always been talkative but around middle school, somehow I lost my voice and I only regained it whenever I was talking to a friend. If a stranger or even a teacher were to approach me and I could not recognize them, I would silence myself: a mere hello was even hard to croak out. Around the beginning of eighth grade, I boosted up my hours on the computer. At first, I was only watching YouTube videos, then I moved onto trying to find a website where I could accomodate my needs of wanting readers. An avid reader of my story had messaged me one day: what first started out as just a question about how I came up with the plot of my story, it evolved into questions about ourselves, not just as a writer and a reader but who we were behind the …show more content…
But on her phone, she is talking to ten other people, in a group chat, who share her interests in books and movies. That was ten more friends than the five she had started with, before her access to the internet and phone. She was not a hermit like her brother who has an addiction to the virtual world to the extent of not carrying friends outside of a computer screen or ignoring the technology and power her device provides with it. She does not neglect the five she originally started with, nor does she isolate herself in her room all day rather than talking to her family around a dinner table. The internet has helped her join a soccer team, a newfound passion she discovered, while looking online for activities to do after school. Her parents tell their relatives that they have not seen her as happy as she is now, and teachers are sending notes home about how she interacts better with other students now. She has been changed because of the internet and its ability to allow people of the same interests to mingle. Exactly three years later, she stands at the airport, holding a sign with the name ‘Lucas’ in the colors of the Gryffindor house in Harry Potter. She had met Lucas on an app for Harry Potter fans to talk to each other and theorize more endings to the books. After a strong long distance

Sociological Research The essay is a critical analysis of the methods, approaches and challenges to social research as discussed by the British sociologist Anthony Giddens.
