On Twitter, I see the news, people's thoughts and opinions being voiced, and memes. I go on Facebook and I see my family from all over the world. I go on Instagram and I see friends, things they are eating, what and who they are wearing and places they travel to. I go on snapchat and I see people from the media industry as well. We listen, hear and see everything by a click of a button. We are involved with our family, our community, and even our government all at once. We are truer online than we are in person because there is no one to stop us. Social media has become a place of debate with or without even wanting too. A personal opinion posted on either Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram turns into an argument in just seconds. Networking with others all around the world and interacting with people with similar interests because it either makes us feel good about ourselves or for other motives. Even fake news is out there for us to voice our opinions about.
Communication Is Key
Social media today has changed our way of communicating. We are now communicating by text, post or even just a meme/gif. We develop feelings differently than our grandparents or even our parents. Being able to communicate to people in person is now a skill when it was a norm back then. It has become a skill that is not really used now but is still needed because we are not perfect humans and some people are actually good at interacting in person, while networking or both. Emotions and opinions are rarely shown now and days but are posted and liked or retweeted. The fact that we are sharing ideas every second is incredibly astonishing and skyrocketing every other day. People get to think by themselves and change other people's opinions by socializing and discussing topics.
People talk about all sorts of things that make us acknowledge and become wiser in a way because we are more involved with recent political, medical, or sports topics. We are able to also learn in a click of a button. We have minor evolutions in our way of thinking by minutes of having, listening or hearing a debate online. There are movements on social media that also let us interact with the world. Is this amazing or what? We have become a society where we are dependent on media to be able to connect with others which is remarkable but somewhat horrifying.
