Is Romanticism Dead?

Is romanticism dead? Everyone apart of this generation has heard that our generation is so obssesd with screens, and has lost the ability to communicate. Although I am a culprit of excessive screen time, I realize the affects it has had on our societal norms. When having conversations with my parents and hearing about their highschool experiences, I cant help but see a major distinction between how they interacted with their friends and significant others compared to how we do today.

I think phones have made communication way to easy, in terms of romatism. However, phones are incredibly beneficial for being able to talk to people to people to far away to make a trip every day, and in terms of convienve. However, when it comes to romantics phones have made everyone easy access in a way. If a guy or a girl wants to strike up a conversation with someone, instead of going out of their way in person or asking the person on a date they can send them a text or a snapchat, which is common especially for the youth. Phones are killing the ability to have a conversation. They are killing the ability to be alone with your thoughts. They are killing the ability to feel comforatble not constantly having something to do.

Romantism is slowly dying due to the advancement in technology. People put such an emphasis on how their instagram looks, snap streaks, and followers. This is putting up a fake facade. Social media results in people only posting pictures that they want the public to see. Its not truly revealing who they are as person.
