I personally have seen the effect of people being afraid to share who they really are online because they are afraid it won't be liked or retweeted. Much of young people's self-esteem today come from the number of followers, friends, likes, or shares they receive on their social media accounts. I too think that it is a problem, but I am missing something... The solution.<br /><br />You have a compelling way of presenting the problem, but I would love to see more of a claim of how to fix it. Even if it is not a bullet proof argument, I want to hear your solution to this problem.Jordan Dyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01325199851323340786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8441758389977123332.post-37157413613692664662016-03-02T01:35:43.366-07:002016-03-02T01:35:43.366-07:00Nice work!

I especially loved your last notecard by referencing the iconic "thumbs-up" from facebook and giving it a big "thumbs down."<br /><br />Have you considered studying technology and social media as an addiction? It seems like a lot of the side effects of social media that you described could be considered as the result of addiction. Some people get addicted to attention. Others get addicted to being right and thus look for the wrong in everyone else. Others may long for human interaction but never learned how to get it so they scroll through endless images and posts, and become addicted to the pseudo-attention that they find there.<br /><br />Just a thought!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06716509317748806517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8441758389977123332.post-70191364397795467792016-03-01T23:08:35.571-07:002016-03-01T23:08:35.571-07:00Hey girl.

Love this topic and I have thought a lot about the same stuff that you have ... can I share with you why I think people have a hard time focusing on themselves and having real life experiences outside of social media?? I believe it's because they've forgotten the true "why" of life ... A lot of people can claim that a cool nature picture they took on social media is because they are so in love with nature and helps them feel so apart from the world ... but is that why they felt the need to share is on social media? I personally would rather find myself lost in a beautiful forest living in that moment and finding out what a sacred moment like that means to me, rather than thinking about how many likes this could get me on Facebook. Everything becomes a "like opportunity" and not a "moment to remember". Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01893843320499967730noreply@blogger.com
