Social Media is continuing to increase in users rapidly everyday. According to Melissa Lieter, Why Do people use social media?, “Technology and the Internet have made it so we can connect with anyone, anywhere, anytime. We know more about each other than we ever did before”, a better way of explaining why everyone use social media. I myself know that social media is both good and bad depending on how we use it. Social media can be an influence and a tool at the same time. I often complain about social media but don’t realize that I spend a lot of time using social media for many reasons throughout my daily life. To sum it up there are probably fundamental usage of social media I implement everyday, such as publicity, connections, entertainment and info.
.
Throughout my daily life I spend time on social media to seek information and Ideals, such as what to do when you are bored on pintere4st for a list, Or I’ll search youtube on hot to get rid of a cold or I might be in my feelings so I’ll ask advice on how to get attention from my boyfriend lol. Those are the random things we do for information. Even when working on a project for school or picking a topic I might find myself looking through a ton of social media sites for for hours and spend way too much time think
I thought I would. It’s good to know why you use social media and how much time you spend on it.
When looking through social media for info, I often find myself getting distracted to some sort of entertainment popping up or even an interesting Ad.
Speaking of entertainment, I notice that “I social media” used to be my favorite line, but I don’t think I’ve went a day without looking through Facebook. Even if it was just for 1 minute or a couple times throughout the day. I might even get distracted often looking at interesting podcasts and other sorts of entertainment. I’ve heard friends talking about something cool that happened on Facebook and run to go see. Or Beyonce falling down the stairs., Sadly, I must admit, my entertainment have been so desperately where, I’ll run to Facebook or Twitter to check out a fight or argument I heard someone talking about. Although I absolutely hate violence, over the web, mad it someone entertainment for me to use social media to see.
For the major reasoning for me using social media nowadays is for making connections and communicating. With my professors and at work with coworkers. I honesty with put blackboard in a category of social media, which gives a positive reason to use social media. I do like to get ideals out over the web and speak to groups weather work groups or community involvement.
I can definitely see myself in the future using social media in my daily life as a career to make money and advertise. I am an ordinary person just like everyone else who uses social media and often think that I am not on social media as much as everyone else. Wrong! When relating to the topic, why do i use social media?” I used it for the same reason others use it and I don’t even reflect on how much time or how often I am influenced by social media.
Unfortunately, I used to hate social media. I do see so many problems that can come from social media, but the media is really a good source for me to use for many reasons. I just need to know how to control the way I use it. I like it.
