Tech has played an integral role in shaping human’s lives throughout out our history. Current tech has brought us to a new age of enlightenment and connection.

Content overload stands to create the biggest social addiction in history. Modern forms of entertainment continues to evolve at a rapid pace. The amount of all this content gets bigger and access to it easier. And people are guilty of gluttony for gorging on this smorgasbord.

Technology Then and Technology Now
One day, my generation will tell their grandchildren about the mystical land of phone books, dial-up internet, and when the pound sign existed as a pound sign. Not a hashtag.
Today’s youth will never know life without Siri, Google, or iPhones. Back in my day, I...
Social Media in the Middle of a Generational Divide
Generation Y found itself thrown in the middle of a technological revolution. Technology rapidly advanced in new ways previously unconceived. But should we be so quick to welcome this technology revolution with open arms?
The Social Media Case
There is a societal pressure to be active on social media. Social media is now a second social environment. Here we engage whomever we desire. Whether it be close friends, or complete strangers. We display our personal information. As well as some of our deepest thoughts and opinions on these sites. This can very useful for connecting with friends and family. Yet, at the same time that same information loses its privacy.
Depending on privacy settings, a family picture can be found by anyone. It’s a little troubling that we are socially pressured into having a personal display of our lives for everyone to see. Profile sites are our own exhibits in the Zoo called the internet. We are the animals. We act normal as people watch our every move through the glass.
That’s a dark way of thinking about it. After all we all consciously make the decision to hit post. We decide what we want to share to the world. And who we want to see it. This makes social media a powerful tool.
“With great power comes great responsibility” Uncle Ben (Spiderman)
Much of the negativity that comes with social media stems from misuse. People making ignorant and offensive statements being at the helm. But this is bound to happen when you give everyone access. But what is promising is the extensive news coverage on twitter.
People now have the ability to instantly see what's happening in the world around them. Breaking news stories can be found solely using twitter. Highly credible journalists use twitter to share news and breaking articles.
Hands down the biggest benefit to the social media is its role on communication. Ideas can be spread instantaneously. Anyone can broadcast their message with a single click. Social media is providing a platform for everyone to be heard. Not just the big guys. Information is no longer controlled in the hands of a few. As a result people have instant access to their entire world around them. So despite our increasing reliance on social media, it should be cautiously welcomed.
Our society’s heavy reliance and social pressure towards social media is troubling. This virtual world we’ve created is growing exponentially. Where do we draw the line of living in a cyber-world? We run the risk of a society that is disconnected from the real world, and connected to a cyber-one.
