Abstract

The behavior patterns of social beings have been transforming and evolving constantly due to the emergence of new communication media such as chat, blog, Twitter, Facebook, etc. To determine patterns of behavior in relation to the use of new social media, authors have decided to experiment with a qualitative study of individuals from a new media savvy environment. The data reveals that certain behavior traits that have been consciously adopted or transformed and that the new media has inadvertently created a line of confusion between the formal and informal communication.
