Blog Entry #6: Social media! More like Bad idea
Social Media is such a big thing in today's world. Almost all of the celebs have it, it's what keeps people looking at them. Although celebrities have social media, so do your ordinary people. From young teens the middle aged Facebook moms
The thing about social media is that it makes you vulnerable. You are showing all of these people what your life is like, where you go, and even what your home may look like. Many people who have social media, Instagram for an example lets you follow people who may be mutuals with your friends. Even though your friends may know that person, you don't. So many people follow others who they don't actually know. This can result in stalking, even bullying.
Hi Alyssa! When I was younger I would always post everything I was doing on social media but then I get older and I would see all these crazy stores people had about having stalkers. Being a young women I always aware of my surroundings and this freaked me out so ever since then I stopped posting everything I am doing and it is very nice.
ReplyDeleteYour title and ending question caught my eye: "Would we be happier without social media?". My initial thought was yes because of how many people and innocent lives have been destroyed by sharing too much personal information with strangers. You also added pictures in the right spots to keep the readers engaged. My only recommendation would be in the last sentence in the first paragraph if there's a different way to phrase it. Such as " From young teens, middle-aged Facebook moms, to elderly grandparents trying to stay tech savvy to keep in contact with their grandchildren."
