Hey guys! So I have been posting on the class Instagram account! I have been posting things relating to how to live a healthy lifestyle, ranging from why it is important to get good sleep, how to deal with stress during finals week, benefits of eating healthy, and why it is so important to stay physically active.
Below I will be posting some screenshots of what I posted! I really enjoyed doing this project and posting on the instagram and helping people live a healthier lifestyle!
I have read a few articles throughout this week that relate to social media! However on this blog post I will be talking about one of those articles that I found was really interesting.
Social Media Is Reverting Society From Adults Back Into Children
This article goes into depth talking about how it was originally thought that social media was used for bringing people together and learning from other people and sharing different perspectives. But it has been known that on social media the people who are the loudest and most annoying and who want to get their way wins.
As we know when you grow up you are taught that patience is key and as you grow up into an adult you are more patient and don’t need things right away as you do when you are a child. This article goes into depth on how social media is reversing that. People now want an answer right away.
This article proves that social media is converting adults to children again and a few ways.
The first way being that as an adult you are suppose to think and research things before you act on something. But lately adults want the answer right away and when they look something up they click on the first link or page and think it is the right answer right away without doing further research. Then they then share it on some social page even if they did not read the what it is about.
The second way this article proves social media is converting adults to children is usually when you grow older you put your work first. But recently most work offices don’t make sure to take employees phones or have a strict rule of not using their personal phone at work. This results in the employees being on their phone and doing stuff that doesn’t relate to the work they have to get done.
I really enjoyed this article because I believe that social media is really changing how adults are when they did not have social media. My parents for instance don’t use social media other than facebook to just check up on family and how they are. I do have friends and their parents use social media and post everything they see on facebook or instagram even if its not correct material. They just want everyone to be on their side and agree with them.
