Rewind: How I Use Social Media

After doing this blog and being in college for a semester, I have learned a few things. First, social media is very dangerous, and not just when it comes to bullying. The dependency that people have today on the media is not healthy and can cause addictions to occur if the person is not careful. Second, there are many social media sites, not just Facebook and Twitter. These sites may be less well known, but they work just as well and often allow for more individuality. Third, the hive mind is a serious threat that people need to see. While it may sound like something out of an old sci-fi movie, it's a real thing, and it's not good. If the hive mind continues to grow, all creativity and individuality will disappear. Finally, the things that we learn in school really do apply to life. This project has made me look at social media in a new way and see that many of the key ideas learned in class apply directly to what I'm seeing. This is a major part of why I enjoyed doing this blog. I will most likely continue even after the class ends.
