Social Media
Social Media has changed the way of all aspects of communication. sites such as Facebook, Twitter, snapchat, Youtube, and Instagram have provided platforms for anybody and everybody to broadcast their voices over an international platform. Anybody and everybody can voice their opinion freely and frequently and has changed the way we view privacy. Since the social media age, people have been eager to document every moment of their life to the public, some have even been able to make careers through making "v-logs" on platforms such as youtube. People are much more open about their lives and people are much more interested in the lives of others. Privacy has become a figment of the past. However the ability to produce and put out content to the public has freed creatives. People no longer need to get contracts with corporations in order to publish work. Media stars such as Ryan Higa been able and "Michell Phan" have been able to develop companies as a result of youtube.
Also social media has changed the way we process information. We have become developed to short format content and shorter attention spans because we are constantly bombarded with content. News has also drastically changed as well. The internet has led to the pop up of numerous news outlets that are free to warp information as they please leading the massive spread of false information. However media has also given power back to the public. Smartphones has made it easy for us to document information and social media has allowed us to put said info online. Flaws in law enforcement have been exposed and has generated conversations about our judicial system. Media has allowed to the quick and mass spread of content, content that is termed "viral."
