Today in class, I have learnt so many things about social media. Social media is different from the technologies. Social media has the ability to allow people to give feedback or to social by using the media such as Netflix is a social media because people can gives comments or to share it to your friends. However, cable television is not a social media because it does not allow people to interact with others.

        I have found myself afraid to be alone with myself. Whenever I was waiting for the bus or being alone waiting for someone, I will pull out my cell phone even though I was not looking at anything specific on my phone. I really like the video that we watched in class. The speaker said that we are so vulnerable, we will be nervous and anxious when we are alone with ourselves. However, we will never feel alone with social media. We have to learn to be alone because it is the time when we can ponder. Furthermore, when my friends and I had dinner outside, we always play with our cell phone. We still communicate with each other, but we are not looking at them. We will just look at our screens. If we use our social media impropriety, we will lose our ability on how to interact with others face to face. There is something that I would like to change. I really miss the time when I was on my mission. I got to time to ponder and I do not feel weird and awkward if I cannot use social media.
