The World of New Media

There are so many forms of new media in the world today that I cant keep up with all of them. To be honest with you I don't use all of them on a daily basis. The only thing that I really use on a daily basis are Facebook and Instagram. But when I go on these websites all I usually do is look at other post and maybe comment on them. I think I have to much to do in a day to make a status on Facebook or post a picture every day. I would like to use Twitter a bit more but I don't really understand the idea of using because I have only used it for class when I was in undergrad.

Now I do think that social media has influenced my perspective on events that happen in the world. Social media has a way of making you want to know what the truth really is and actually keep up with things in the world. It has opened my eye up to things that I never paid attention to before,  now I am able to know news before it his the news thanks to media it self. For example we are able to see what is going on with celebrities as soon as it hit the tabloids because someone will post it to twitter the moment it happen and that is the same for the weather or thing in the news because it will hit twitter and Facebook before it actually get on the new broadcast. But I do find that all these things are positive  outcomes of  media. To me media has a more positive influence because it allows us as people to express how we feel and let others know what is going on in the world at a moments notice.  But I do think that we have some negative influence's that come about in media because there are some things that we are able to find like on you tube of children fighting and cursing their parents out and children are able to see those things and think that it is ok. I feel like social media is more for the mature crowd because children do not know how to look at the things that are on social media and not take it for what it is, it gives them a negative out look on how to behave.  I know it is a way around the negative things that do show up on media sites but because we do have the freedom of speech it is kind of hard to get rid of it. I just think that adults should be more concise of what we put on social sites for the sake of the children.
