Cost of social media
Have you ever wondered something is wrong with people on social media? You definitely would have if you feel concerned about the social stigma they are causing right now. Is it only me or everyone feel that the posts which are stupid and impacts negatively are the one that are getting more number of interactions across social media. The more people gives thumbs up or likes, comments or share the more popular the topic becomes. Its human nature to be fool but we become so numb to our faulty habits because of doing it multiple times knowingly or unknowingly. We, as an individual, are always right. We do stuffs our intellect says that is wrong but do it anyway. I am not trying to go against human behavioral thinking but it is something I wanted to address.
When your circle is small, you’ve very less number of people criticizing you and your work. Let’s take Facebook, Twitter for an example of a social platform. As your circle grows, more people come to comment and interact. The more interaction, the more people and their views on you, your work or whatever you do. And according to the content, either you are liked or not liked. The good thing is most of the people are loving by nature. Everyone wants to connect and share their love. Let’s not talk that more important reason.
For an instance, when a person follows a celebrity and they say this product is good (like for your weight loss, or good for your skin) you believe without thinking twice or ignoring the fact that they are marketing for some organisation. There are lot of pictures showing important issues like global warming, rising sea level and temperature world wide but awareness in these factors are very less in number. And picture showing nudity gets more impressions than a child malnutrition. Social media and this technological era is growing exponentially unlike any other era in human history. Slowly we are growing ourselves in the area never known before. Only time will tell if we should worry or not about the power of ignorance in social media.
Ignore the nonsense and take all the goods found in the web. It can help to grow you as a person. Awareness can make this world a better place to live for our generation and generations to come. So IGNORE.
