Welcome back ladies and gentlemen!


Today we will the discuss technology and how it effects us, play a role in our lives, etc. Here I have linked a video for you folks to watch to get a better understanding on my thoughts about technology in use today.

Firstly, I do indeed use social media and I have found it to be strangely addicting, even when I am just looking at the same thing over and over and over again. I think social media has a large time consumption on human lives, especially those between the ages of 14-25. I usually have a tendency on checking my social media before my class starts, and I usually re-read a lot of content as well.

Now, I particularly picked this video to inform, in a somewhat entertaining way, about the effects that social media has on everyone's brain. The video mentioned something called the "Phantom Vibration Syndrome" and I can honestly say, that it has happened to be many, many times before. Especially when I have used my phone so much that day. Have you guys ever felt this as well? I believe most of you have, and if not, then wonderful, you're not so much into your phone. Even while trying to finish this blog, I am caught browsing my social media feed and it is such a constant distraction.

Social Media is booming and allows the world to feel "connected" so we can see what others see and how they feel thousands of miles apart. However, it has evolve to much more than that, as the world, so I do not single any group out, embraces it so much that we grasp it and make it our lives. We as a whole spend most of our times on it because frankly, it is effortless and provides us with great entertainment. I am curious as to how many times you guys check your social media, get on it, and use it.

That sums up the blog for today, and remember, social media is not that important, to a certain extent. Have a great day, night, afternoon, or evening and I will see you all next time.
