Technology and human beings are so closely related , that some times it is difficult to distinguish the significant relationships which both possess these days . We are in a world which is highly inclined and skewed towards technological intervention and technological immersion. Technology and usage of technology has become important part of our day to day routine .
The social media is also an emergence of the output which is generated from the technological interpretation and technological perspective. These days it looks like that people have more time to converse through social media than to converse physically . As we speak world is looking towards two ways of looking centuries now i.e one is pre covid and other one is Covid era and possibly post covid era . The social distancing and physical distancing which has become a new norm in covid times , is also a primary reason that people hesitate to talk to each other more physically . The communication is an important part of human interpretation and human skills and talking to each other is important part of discussion and to remain in aloof is not what human beings are tuned to .
Appreciation and Acknowledgement is an important part of human skills and behavioral patterns . Why only human beings ? perhaps , it is there with each living being that they need some or other kind of acknowledgement and appreciation . As when physical interaction was more physical acknowledgement was also more and now with change in times , people want social validation . Social Validation is in terms of whatsapp status which they put , facebook post which they write and instagram photo which they share. Social validation has become an important part of acknowledgement . People get birthday wishes and they take screen shot and put that on their status thanking each others and other forms of apprecation regulary have become a part of acknowledgement . it is important for us to understand the previous version of acknowledgement and new avataar of validation.
Welcome to the world of Social validation ....
