On Conan O'Brien last week comedian Louis C.K. basically said social media sucks. C.K. recently created a Twitter account just to let everyone know what he was up to but did not follow anyone. I think that's interesting how he does not follow anyone on his page. Also he makes fun of how everybody tweets about useless information. Like "Jesus is trending."
I found this so funny because I felt that he does have a point. People today are so consumed with social media that tweets, for example, are more important than real life. A tweet will spread faster than television news and word of mouth. Technology is taking over and I feel that in a few years social media is going to be the most popular news source.
I agree with you Courtney. I feel people are consumed by their need for social media attention. And if it will be the most popular I feel real bad for the generations following us. Social media updates are based upon the users opinions and not fact.
ReplyDeleteSocial media is completely taking over the world. Sometime in the future, people aren't even going to have to talk face to face but talk over social media. What is our world coming to?!
