blog post # 6 lens exhibit pairing haider ali

As my exhibit, I have chosen social media because nowadays every other person uses some sort of social media platform especially the younger generations hence the future of the world. It has its entertainment and educational purposes but have you ever stopped to wonder about what significance it has brought in your life. After a while, people start to completely give in to these social media platforms that they start to spend more time looking at how other people are living rather then living their own lives. For my lens, I have chosen brain plasticity because it can be easily used to show the negative affects of social media platforms. The pairing of this Exhibit and this lens is very illuminating to the general reader because the reader may find himself in a very similar situation due to this exhibit being very broad and diverse. Due to the fact that social media was recently created between the last two decades, we can see how it has changed the way our mind works and how it is similar to books but much more vague. When a person goes on a social media platform, he is exposing his brain to many ideas, which is harmful for a person because there is a lot of manipulative content on them.
