Jones, Haley. “Social Media’s Affect On Human Interaction”. HASTAC, 2019, https://www.hastac.org/blogs/haley117/2013/06/07/social-medias-affect-human-interaction.

The author has presented enough data to show that social media has adversely affected human interactions. The author targets the youth, students, and other researchers. The young people and the students are the most persons affected by the addiction to social media. The article compared to other items is a bit appealing as it gives the impacts of social media in depth. The article thus states that social media is the cause of decreased social interactions among many persons complaining about losing their ability to be social. my opinion is that social media has both positive and negative impacts on human interactions. The article is biased as it focuses more on the positive effects of social media on human interactions and fails to discuss the negative side.

Kühn, Simone, et al. discuss concerns that violent games are the cause of reduce-prosocial behavior, cognition interference, increase impulses, and promote aggressiveness. The article is related to previous studies conducted on the short term effects of violent video games. My view on the subject matter is that violent video games have more of the long term than short term effects. This article instead highlights on experimental studies on the long term effects of violent video games using sexist attitudes, spanning questionnaires, and interpersonal competencies. This article is very relevant as it argues and gives evidence using scientific literature.
