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.

ResponderEliminarI agree with you and the fact that facebook is one of the greatest networks online; sometimes I think about all the friends that i have on fb and all of the other possible members, but truth is, I never imagined something that big. And yeah, you are completely right, nowadays kids would rather spend time using the computer than doing outdoors activities, that seriously damages their livestyles and it should be adviced not to use in excess :)
ResponderEliminarIntersting ideas, thanks for sharing them. I think the same thing all the time and now that i am a father am constantly trying to reinforce to Ollie that sports and daily interactions with people in the flesh are truly important. I agree it is great to stay in touch but i am not making it up when i say that this summer i saw two teens sitting next to each other in the mall....chatting back on face book?!?! en serio.
ResponderEliminarYou have a very interesting point on your first paragraph about how facebook influences on our life too. I totally agree with the fact that facebook is considered to be a hobby instead of only a fun thing to do. It is true to say that in past years we, adolescents, were practicing sports instead of looking at facebook all the time. It is interesting how you know that facebook is so addictive, and how you can manage to stay on task and do sports too, instead of only checking facebook 24/7!
