Blog Free Writing

Blogging has been around for some time and I think it's both a waste of time and a great idea. I think blogging is a fun because it's a way for you to spread your ideas around the world mainly because it's fast, easy and relatively a cost-effeicent way to do so. It's free to create your own blog and to make money, you simply need to let companies advertise on your blog. You don't have to buy anything really and there's no paper involved! Making it a enviromental aspect of our everyday lives. Now I think is a waste of time because your just sitting at a computer screen with nothing to do but write. Now I'm not saying it's a completely waste of time but it's mainly a way to say what you want, when you want to.

The Social Media Revolution

Watching the video, I found that nothing really stood out to me. There wasn't a shocking fact that jumped out to me but as I was watching I thought to myself and I wondered, "We, as humans, are evolving towards a type of behavior that makes us our own enemy. By encouraging anti-social behavior". By participating in such activities such as FaceBook, YouTube, and many others. We force ourselves to sit in front of a screen and ignore people. In doing so, we our destroying our connections towards each other. Yet there were some facts or statements made on the video. Such as the fact "By 2010, Generation Y will outnumber the Baby Boomer Generation." or "It took ears for anything to reach a million users or followers, such as TV, Radio, or even Internet." Although I feel that society has changed to rotate about technology but more mainly Social Media. Seeing as how 1 in 8 couples met through a social media outsource, life as we know is brutally tied down to technology.
