How Social Media Affects Us

The Learning Curve

Social media is the wave of the future. With it, we are ever so connected and fulfilled. Phones bring utility, communication, entertainment, and everything in between. Social media connects us to groups and teams of people from across the globe. We live in an age of technology and are pioneering even more ways to connect with others in simpler ways. Although previous generations lived perfectly fine without the vast amounts of media, today’s society and culture rely on it. People find their news sources on blogs and Twitter rather than hard print newspapers and enjoy their communication on texts rather than letters.

Efficiency was the main goal of this web network, but it seemed like a major distraction to some. The time-consuming portion came from entertainment. Although people oppose the amount of time spent on electronics because they feel it is a waste of time, the only shift was the transition into digital entertainment. Rather than other hobbies, people preferred to spend their time playing games or browsing social media. This contains a large discrepancy over the conflicting opinions of the media world but is mostly enjoyed by the younger generation.

It is ultimately important that we delve into some of the arguments arising in society because of the way social media affects our everyday lives. Since people are starting to revolve around social media, figuring out how we can ensure a better future with this technology is of utmost importance.
