Essena ONeill and Dodie Clark have great videos about what social media is doing to people. We don't interact anymore with people in the street or at the park or wherever we are. We just use social media to talk and we need to find a balance.
I believe social media is good and bad. It is an industry that is thriving! It is a place to share your thoughts and ideas with people across the globe that you wouldn't have had the chance to talk to otherwise. But it's also an industry that is exploiting people, people become popular on Instagram for having the "perfect" body in the eyes of our society. These people don't even feel happy within themselves because they're constantly being judged and criticised by people that don't even know them.
I think these videos need to be spread, their messages are important. We are being consumed by social media and we need to step back and live in the moment. Enjoy our lives, not for the views, likes or followers but for ourselves.
What is your opinion?
That's it for now,
