You have to go and turn off the locator function for it not to show where you are posting from. The locator setting shows where you are posting right down to the house number. Some people end up having a dependency or addiction to social media and sacrifice their home life, school, and relationships with other people. Another disadvantage of social media is work production. Social media can distract an employee and take away from work that needs to be completed.
How Social Media Affect Us Introduction The social media is a way to communicate with your friends, to write and upload pictures, and it’s also a way to find out about many information and news that are going on around the world. However, how does the social media help spread information around the world and how does social media affect the people who use it? This research paper focuses on the impact and effects that the social media has on people. The impacts and effects that social media has on people are news and other information are spread faster and sooner on the social networks than other places and people are more time on the computer because of social media instead of doing homework or doing a sport or even exercising. I chose the topic of the social media for many reasons.
I have notice that Facebook catalysis people’s search for attention. The little things like getting a comment or feedback becomes addictive, leading to more Attention Seeking (“OMG can’t believe what just happened!”). Status and what people say they’re up to doesn’t really reflect who they are or what’s really happening in their lives. It’s the most superficial skim of a person’s
Alicia Zapata English 126 October 31, 2012 In the essay, “Are Social Networks Messing with Your Head?,” David DiSalvo convinces his readers that, “as social networks proliferate, they are changing the way people think about the Internet, from a tool used in solitary anonymity to a medium that touches on questions about human nature and identity; who we are, how we feel about ourselves, and how we act toward one another” (501). He bases his argument on multiple psychological research which indicates social networking sites do not cause loneliness, rather it makes those who were lonely prior to social networking lonelier, and for those who are not lonely, social networking sites actually help them continue their online relationships offline, which isn’t a bad thing in that case. It has also been researched that social networking is a self-esteem booster, and is even paving the way for those with narcissist personalities, however, just as it can be a self-esteem booster, social networking has the ability to bring down self-esteem just as fast. DiSalvo also talks about how we are obsessively going online, spending unhealthy amounts of time on social network websites to the point where it starts to become debilitating. The essay concludes with the idea that there is a transformational current going on, and social media is not only changing the way we interact with one another, but it is also affecting our brains, having a psychological effect on us.
For quite some time, the talk has been that social networking is viewed as unnecessary. Social networking seems uncalled for by others, yet over the years it has become more prevalent. In today’s society, many people have chosen to become more involved with online interaction whether it was personal or business. The problem lies in the difference of social networking being considered a friend or a foe. How is it beneficial to today’s way in life?
Social media can even affect job opportunities. Jobs now check social media sites to see if the employees are on them before jobs are
Olivier Lubemba Jon drinnon English 201 A March 4th, 2013 Report 1 In relationships men and women most often have different ways to communicate; they are more comfortable when they talk to someone with the same sex. I will always try to be brief in conversations when I talk to my girlfriend than when I talk with my male friends. But when it comes her turn, she always talks about a lot of details that are not even important or need to be discussed at that time. So I’m going to pretend like I don’t listen to what she is saying but in reality I’m listening and I want her to stop then she gets mad and starts to complain. After that she will go call her sister and tell her that I’m ignoring her and not even paying attention to her then they’ll start to talk to talk about everything that she was telling, although that is true because she always comes up with shoes, mall, online shopping or her best friend bought this new dress while I’m not interested on all that.
Miller 1 Debby Miller Professor Davis English 101 29 June 2014 Home Schooling Children In Kimberly Walker's Article, entitled, “How Social Media Made Us Narcissists, “she claims the social media has pushed us all into steamy love affairs with ourselves. It's evidenced by the myriad profile shots that feature us in every possible scenario from exercising to pretend- ing to be sleep. Most people believed that the social media is a good way to stay in contact with people. Most people use it for this purpose. She also states that social media encourages bullies to say things that they wouldn't normally say.
When I’m talking to someone it’s very easy to mistake that someone understands you. Clearly you can say something and the other person may have heard it wrong and we automatic fly off the handle. During my marriage to my ex-husband, he and I had this problem quite often. He would say something and what I thought was said was not and there you go miscommunication. It was one night his mom was watching the children and I thought he said we had to pick them up Miscommunication can start so easily, you could be talking or someone could be talking to you and you get distracted and you didn’t hear all of what the person was saying and that could lead to miscommunication.
If we as people do not remember what it means to be friendly and learn to communicate again I am afraid what society might turn into. With technology the way it is today personal communication is coming so obsolete. Even the younger generation is doing more texting and communication on the internet than the way communication once was. I sometimes sit and think about the future of communication and it scares me how just talking to someone someday will become a thing of the past. Hopefully people in my generation can get their children to put down their devices and talk again.
