Thoughts On Social Media
We live in the age of social media.
Two decades ago social media was not a significant phenomenon. Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Twitter, and all the other social media platforms so embedded into people’s lives today did not exist. It was a simpler time. A time when people had face-to-face interactions instead of relying on messaging each other online. A time when people didn’t worry so much about what others were doing and comparing themselves to others. A time when people allowed themselves to fully enjoy the moment and embrace each other’s company, instead of constantly looking down on their devices and being distracted.
But whatever your thoughts on the matter, social media has become a prominent part of modern life. The average person spends multiple hours a day consuming content on social media. Twitter had been used to broadcast announcements from the President of the United States. Social media has become an essential marketing medium for many businesses. There are also many who rely on social media for their income, such as influencers and creators. Nowadays, movements, cults, trends, conspiracy theories, and political mobilizations are spread through social media.
Given the prominence of social media in the modern world, it is important to evaluate the impact it has had on our lives.
