The essay I have chosen to revise is going to be my lens essay. I think there are a lot more benefits when it comes to social media than there are negatives. Social media has earned a bad reputation, in the sense that it makes people less social because people are “glued to their computer screens” or “can’t live without their phones”. I ask… Does it really make us LESS social, or does it, in fact, do the opposite? It has been proven to improve the way people communicate with each other and the progress their relationships with one another; especially those that have an issue with communicating face to face. I believe that with a slight change in perspective and foresight on where the future of communication is heading, we’ll see that we’re indeed, becoming more connected than ever before and therefore MORE social. In my revised essay I plan to show examples of the positive improvement brought on by social media from easier access to world new, to our increased ability to network globally. I also plan to provide insight how we can learn to use our social media platforms to their full extent. With the internet and social media, we’re connected to the world rather than just the people we encounter in our everyday life.
