<translate> Wengi wetu hatujawahi kukutana ana kwa ana kabla ya hapa. Kejeli ya mitandao ya kijamii ni ujasiri wake kukufanya uhisi ukaribu wa hali ya juu na unaowasiliana nao, kana kwamba unajua kila jambo kuwahusu kupitia emoji na hisia zilizoshirikiwa. Pia mitandao ya kijamii humpa mtu chaguo la kuwa mndani na bado kuwa na marafiki kote ulimwenguni. Lakini kando na huu uwazi na desturi ya utumizi wa emoji ambazo huficha hisia zetu halisi, mawasiliano mitandaoni pia yanatumika kama kivunja-barafu na hufanya mkutano wa kwanza wa ana kwa ana kuwa wenye kuvumilika. <eng>
Most of us have never met physically. The irony of socialising media is its shameless audacity to make you feel really close to those you connect with through available handles, as if you know every bit about them with shared emojis and sentiments. It also accords one the option of introversion with a global camaraderie just a click away. Yet, even in this shamelessness and behind emojis that conceal our true emotions, socialising media acts as a sort of ice breaker that makes the first physical interaction bearable.
