The Social Media Revolution video has very important facts of what is happening in the world nowadays or what will happen soon. I picked the theme that said that if facebook was a country it would be the 4th biggest in the whole world. I found out this very interesting because im involved in it as well as lots of my friends, we all have facebook accounts and we are all part of this social media.
There are lots of dangers here as well as positive facts. One of the dangers present is the fact that lots of people choose facebook as a past time instead of other activities. A coule years ago a fun past time was practicing any sport, whereas today facebook is a new past time. This involves no physical activity and its causing some people to be lazy, instead of being out exercising with your friends you now sit in your house talking to people by facebook or looking at pictures. Im not saying that having a facebook account is bad, its actually a pretty good thing because its an easy way of communicating with people from different parts in the world. The fact that its taking away physical activity from people is an issue, but it has its pros as I said before.
I have a facebook account but I am also protected because I love sports and a website isnt going to stop me from practicing them. I of course save some time for looking at pictures in facebook and talking to my friends, but most of the time Im doing any physical activity. Education should change a little in the way technology is managed, schools should recommend websites that teaches students something, so that they can focus on something else rather than being on facebook all the time. Preparing other activities that dont involve the internet would also be a little helpful, or prepare activities that involve historical websites that help students learn something new. In conclusion, I believe that facebook has its advantages and disadvantages and we are the ones in charge of changing these social media problems.
