Social media has almost complete control of the mind without people even noticing. For me social media has had a great impact on my life. There has been many positive effects but also many negative ones. Even other people in my life have been affected by it differently and that could affect me because of the fact that they are in my life.
The Media
Social media has great intentions and is good in many many ways but it is also doing lots and lots of damage to our world. For me it has paid off and been more positive I feel because being an athlete, social media is all of your exposure. It is how you get your film out for colleges to see to get to the next level as well as just making a bigger name for yourself and also getting noticed.
Mind Control
Then again with social media people are also in your business all the time. Even if you don’t put out much on yourself there are ways people still find out many things and may even put it out about you. For relationships people just about go by social medias and people they don’t know opinion and use it as a guideline or checklist for their own even though everyone is different. Even in this article it makes probably one of the most true statements of social media. “Your mind is being controlled by distant strangers who don’t have your best interests at heart. “
Connection
I feel that social media does do part of it’s just in connecting the world but it isn’t always positive which isn’t necessarily in the hands of the social media networks. It still has that same negative affect that is allowed to impact people because of the fact that those networks still do connect each other. Overall it definitely does have its positive impacts and helps people in a numerous amount of ways. With that being said it literally is also controlling the people in this world mind. The people behind it all know how to manipulate the mind in general and they put it into their forms of social media networks and that’s what has everyone so hooked without even noticing it. As well as how they filter everyone’s searches or comments or things they see based off of what catches the mind’s attention even if it leaves a negative effect on the person.
The Affect
With all of that being said I believe the original intention of social media is great and even now like I said it has both positive and negative effects so it very hard to say if it is more benefiting or controlling and killing the mind of the world’s people.
