So we spend a lot of time cooking it up on social media...How is that affecting us?
Social media networking has opened so many doors, but simultaneously has locked us in its addictive loop; rewarding us with zings of notifications, follower requests and likes. We all know the delicious satisfaction of getting the approval of others- and with social media, we have not only been feeding this hunger, but have made ourselves hungrier! People are craving more likes, a larger audience, a bigger stage.
Yes, sites like Facebook have allowed us to connect with one another, disregarding physical boundaries, but do they actually satisfy our thirst for friendship with virtual relationships?
We are getting more information in our news feeds on Twitter, but are we getting full of knowledge or simply becoming desensitized to the term 'breaking news'?
During this class, the bare bones of today's social media networks will be spit out, and thoroughly analyzed from various angles before digesting their contents and tasting the impact on users.
