THE UHCL SIGNAL – Mar 5 – "We are forgetting how to communicate," says Tony A. Gaskins, Jr., motivational speaker, author and life coach. "Adults are letting 'social media' ruin their relationships. Talk to your partner and stop letting inboxes, likes, and retweets ruin what you're trying to build." In this day and age, most people's lives revolve around their phones and social media. Nowadays, children and adults are spending a lot more time looking at screens and a lot less time having in-person conversations. This lack of face-to-face interaction is having a negative impact on this decade's dating world. A study by Pew Research center reports, "24% of individuals think technology has either a negative or less-than-positive impact on relationships." Another danger of social media on relationships is the tendency for personal affairs to be played out before an audience. In June 2015, a signed law called "Revenge Porn" is defined as a law that involves a person posting explicit photos of an ex or whoever without permission. The Texas law makes revenge porn a Class A misdemeanor with up to a year jail time and $4K fine.
