People use more than one exclamation mark (“Sounds good!!!)，and all caps (“GREAT IDEA!”)，and repetition of letters (“soooo tired”）in social media. These are the three main ones that show enthusiasm, according to Deborah Tannen, a professor at Georgetown University. It is the same for the Chinese character “哈（ha)”，which we use to represent laughter. We usually text two, three or more of these characters to indicate how happy or amused we are. Using many of these kinds of symbols and characters is clearly becoming a cultural phenomenon.
“HEY STEVE!” someone recently emailed me. Both my name and “Hey” were in caps, and all five sentences in the message ended with exclamation marks. At first glance I assumed the message was a loved one writing from a plane that was going down. It turned out to be someone I hardly knew, discussing minor household chores and thanking me for something that had taken no effort on my part.
I hate it, that if we don’t put six exclamation marks in an email or text we sound like a 13-year-old girl. But when used too much, the exclamation mark makes no sense to the receiver, losing its intended meaning.

According to The New York Times, kids from ages 8 to 18 spend more than seven and a half hours a day on electronic devices and social network. Parents who have trouble tearing their teens away from the computer or smart phone may wonder whether their teenager is addicted to technology.
One big change that has come with new technology and especially smart phones is that we are never really alone. Kids update their status, sharing what they’re watching, listening to, and reading at all times. The result is that kids feel connected with each other all the time, never getting a break from them. That, in and of itself, can produce anxiety. It’s also surprisingly easy to feel lonely and depressed in the middle of all that connection.
Today kids are missing out on very critical social skills. In the past kids were more likely to chat and hang out in person. Through real-time interactions, they were experimenting and trying out skills. In a way, texting and online communicating puts everybody in a nonverbal disabled context, where body language, facial expression, and even the smallest kinds of vocal reactions are invisible.
Peer acceptance is a big thing for adolescents, and their image matters a lot to them. Who wouldn’t want to make herself look cooler if she can? So kids can spend hours beautifying their online identities, trying to project an idealized image.
Social media also can have a positive effect, however. Some research has found that social media can be a resource for teens to find social support when they are struggling with life issues, and that introvert kids can use the different online platforms as a way to express themselves. So they are able to build friendships and relationships through the interaction they have with others on the Internet.
Social networking makes kids more peer-based. Teens interact and receive feedback from one another. They are motivated to learn more from each other than from adults. Teachers and adults are no longer the only sources of knowledge.
Whether technology is good or bad largely depends on the person who uses it. Parents are role models for their children. They should cut down their own consumption first, and limit the amount of time their kids spend on social media. It is also suggested that sites like Instagram and schools teach safe social media use.
