Is Social Media Good or Bad

Social media Vs. TV News

In the modern day of technology, our mobile phones can do so much more then watching funny cat videos on the internet. With social media we can report events without evening knowing it. On popular app such as Facebook or Twitter, people can report events while it happening just by tweeting a message or a photo.

Social media is huge, according to Our World in Data "there are 7.7 billion people in the world, with at least 3.5 billion of us online. This means social media platforms are used by one-in-three people in the world, and more than two-thirds of all internet users." The amount of people that use the news is far less with around 3 million people. That is no where near the amount of people that use social media. On Facebook and tweeter, you can find more news scores that or more creditable then to say fox news or CNN. For big news sources like Fox News and CNN, they only care about being first, which leads to fake reports and false information.

Not all social media is good. Instead of media coming in slowly by professional, it can be produced by amateurs at a very quick rate. That how most people get there information.

 

Social media has change the way we consume information. It fast, and can be creditable then Big News Sources. Social media has lots of bad things about it, like ads that pop up every five minutes or people trying to scam other, but social media does have lots of thing too.

Future Technology

How far can we advances, and how far is too advances.

In the world we live in now, even though we are dealing with the pandemic of COVID-19 around the world. Can technology get to advances? Don't get me, some technology needs to get upgrades for safety like cars.

The future we are heading too, seem to be where cars can drive them selves, removing the purpose of people with jobs like Uber. More jobs can be lost where advances machines that can cut, analyst, predict, and work faster than people can. According to NHSTA 

"A number of today’s new motor vehicles have technology that helps drivers avoid drifting into adjacent lanes or making unsafe lane changes, or that warns drivers of other vehicles behind them when they are backing up, or that brakes automatically if a vehicle ahead of them stops or slows suddenly, among other things." having high tech technology that is meant for saving a person life is a great thing; But, having technology that can have cars, drives them selves making people more lazy is not the best thing for people and other around them.

The Future we are heading to is a lazy one. People don't have to manually vacuum anymore because we have little robots that can clean for us. Soon or later we will have personal robots that could follow us everywhere doing basic task that we can do ourselves. Its alright for us to be were we are now. We don't need thing that have no purpose but to make people more lazy.
