Social MEDIA

Today, everyone is involved in the social media. Social media is the biggest shift since the industrial revolution. Now we use media not only to communicate but to advertise, learn, and even for jobs. In the aspect of education, media takes a very important roll today. We are teaching students things that haven’t been thought, preparing them for jobs that doesn`t exist yet, using technology that hasn`t been invented and last, we are teaching them to solve problems that aren`t problems yet. The population in the world has increased so much that India has more honored students than US has students. In 8 seconds 34 babies will be born .Also 1 in 6 higher education students enrolled in an online curriculum. Schools have been equipped with the latest technology that will increase the mental abilities in the future. There are 540,000 words in English and every year 54 is added. There is 5 times as much there were in Shakespeare’s times. The New York Times contains more information than a person in the 18 th century would come across in a life time. Students starting technical degree , the things they learn in their 1 st year will be outdated by their third. This evolution is becoming dangerous. In the future they`ll build a computer that is more intelligent than the human race. This could lead to destruction, but all this is happening because people are looking for things in the internet and want better results so companies want to be there when they are looking for something. This is all ADVERTISMENTS.


Advertising is the clue of success. More 80% of companies use advertisement via media just to find employees. The demand of jobs in 20010 didn’t existed in 2004.Phones are every important now, 210 million calls have been made every second. The text messages send every minute exceeds the world population. Imagine this, in Twitter users can update it everywhere anytime thanks to the phones that use wireless confection that means people will be talking about their costumer’s experiences everywhere. About 78% percent of the costumers’ trust peer recommendations. Preparing ourselves to a world full of social media and ruled by companies and sites such as FACEBOOk we have to keep moving with the technology. If we don’t accept that the world s moving, even if it`s not for good, if we don’t move with it, it will destruct us. We use all day long media. Right now, for this paragraph I had to use media, I had to look in YOUTUBE which is 2nd largest search engine more than 1 million videos posted to write about how media is influencing us. WE use Google instead of books; if we want to know why tables are made with artificial wood we look it up in Google.





We are using the sites people talk about to be in the SOCIETY. We use facebook to know what other people are doing. Facebook had more than 10 million users in its first 9 months while the radio took 38 years to reach 5 million. If Facebook was a country it would be the 4th largest after US. To answer questions we use Yahoo or Google. To have fun we use online games. We are all falling in the hole. Wikipedia has more that 13 million articles…more accurate than encyclopedia Britannica We has to change some education systems to live in this MEDIA world. It’s out of control. This media growth will continue for the next 20 years or more. We will change education things they will no longer be books but computers no longer pens but keyboards. There would be even machines that make the work for us. We will fall and become lazy while the MACHINE Empire rises over us. The machines will control us, even if we were the ones who made them. MEDIA controls us. WE use it everywhere. We see it everywhere, we hear about it everywhere.

  3. I agree because social media is out of control but also many people now couldn't live without it. It is useful on our daily lives because we use it to communicate all over the world. At the end I also agree that social media will end up controlling us.

  4. Debora:

    I totally agree with you, social media is taking over our life's. Social media is used by millions of people every day to communicated, to search for a job, to have fun and a lot of thing more. I enjoy your written, however I think it will be easier to see the video. What I mean is that your paragraphs are identical to the video you chose. For next time I think you should parafraseted a little bit more. I mean this in a good way :D

  5. Debo, i kind of agree with your topic. I understand that sometimes we are kind of addicted and we think we can't live without it. I tell you this, because i've done it too. One day i had like 2 days i didn't log in facebook neither messenger and i felt i was dying which is kind of silly actually. I also agree when you said that social media is not a fad. i liked your post it maked me think of so many things. As you say we need to know how to handle social media.
