Alicia Zapata English 126 October 31, 2012 In the essay, “Are Social Networks Messing with Your Head?,” David DiSalvo convinces his readers that, “as social networks proliferate, they are changing the way people think about the Internet, from a tool used in solitary anonymity to a medium that touches on questions about human nature and identity; who we are, how we feel about ourselves, and how we act toward one another” (501). He bases his argument on multiple psychological research which indicates social networking sites do not cause loneliness, rather it makes those who were lonely prior to social networking lonelier, and for those who are not lonely, social networking sites actually help them continue their online relationships offline, which isn’t a bad thing in that case.

DiSalvo also talks about how we are obsessively going online, spending unhealthy amounts of time on social network websites to the point where it starts to become debilitating. The essay concludes with the idea that there is a transformational current going on, and social media is not only changing the way we interact with one another, but it is also affecting our brains, having a psychological effect on us.
