The second article that I came across is about the good and the bad of social media. The first part of the article intrigued me. The author talked about how he went to a public speaker who spoke about how we used to keep diaries. We would write down our feelings, thoughts, and actions hoping that no one would read them. Nowadays, people write down these same things, wanting people to see them. It has become extremely important to get as many "likes" as we can on a post, that at one time we wanted to keep private.
Before getting to far in this class, I would hope that we all take a look at the good and bad aspects of social media. It is an excellent tool in communicating with others about thoughts and possible dangers that may be happening within our community. However, there are some negative aspects as well, such as not being aware of the physical world around us. How ever you view social media, there are undoubtedly negative and positive outcomes that derive from it.
