The article is very clear about how social media changed the way we connect and react to other people’s thoughts, ideas, and emotions. We react to people’s posts without knowing them or without knowing the reason for their posts. Before the innovation of social media, we connected to people in real life and we did not share anything with the person we just meat. But now, if we disagree with one’s opinion we don’t waste time to get back at them and get into a virtual fight. As the article discussed social media was created to connect people from all over the world but as it improves were made to make things easy, it made it harmfull. like a retweet, like, comment, and share bottoms make things simple but end up creating obsessions in people’s minds of getting more and more like and share on their post, kind of virtual pleasure that we seek whenever we post something. We feel good when some comment good thought on our post and when someone shares our post thinking that it’s important to make us feel important too. the article also talks about the fake account that produces fake news troughing famous people under the bus. Which can be dangers if the news goes viral causing misunderstanding and unreal tensions among people. And it feels safe learning that social media trying to address those issues since they are receiving so much backlash that could be bad for their business. As history taught us that whenever we discover something for good end ups causing problems when scientists discover that harnessing atomic power is possible we build nuclear boom. And ultimate it up to us how we chose treats these innovations that created for good.
