Social Media is Scary

The main reason for the recent rise in trolling is because of how invested our society is in social media. The majority of our lives are displayed on the internet for the world to see. There’s actually a tv show based off of this concept called Black Mirror. It’s a slightly creepy drama that ‘examines modern society in regard to the consequences of new technologies’. As I started watching it, I got really freaked out, but then realized how true it is and where our society is headed. Social media is scary, just be aware of what your posting and where you’re posting it. I don’t know where our society is headed, but it doesn't seem to be very positive.

  1. I agree. It reminds me of when my uncle told me that if there's a camera on your phone or computer you should try to cover it because you never know if a hacker or some kind of government official would look through your camera for security reasons or just to be a weird creep. Like technology and social media leaves us vulnerable and we can't help but keep wanting more and more of it.
