A common question raises at this point.Do the posts really describe the events happening at that moment? How often dopeople who have good intra-family communication processes and regularly spendtime with their families use social media? In addition, do people who experiencedisruptions in family communication processes share on social media more intenseand unreal events or old pictures and videos?
