Media: most used

The forms of media I use most would be Snapchat and Instagram, both forms of social media. Snapchat allows me to tex my friends with pictures that disappear after a certain amount of time and Instagram is like the new Facebook. You can post videos, pictures, you can direct message, even post disappearing posts like on Snapchat. These two little apps have become a distraction from many things in life; especially school. I am sure that I am not the only one victim to social media. Every day, overtime, you go on either of these, there are many different things to take in. On snapchat, you get to see little snippets of what is going on in other's lives. Many of which are probably not completely relevant in your live, in the way that you do not interact with them on a daily basis. Many are like this for me. Your brain is filled with information from the little news snippets that focus primarily of the lives of the Kardashians, Emily Ratajkowski, the Hadids, or Ariel Winter. Each of which are famous people with bodies that are idolized. On Instagram, its basically the same thing. There are advertisments for makeup, and bras, and FitTea. Things that are meant to make you prettier, skinnier, have a nicer body, etc. Of course this is the majority of what I see because it models itself after pictures and videos you like, sending you more and more of similar posts, so who knows what other people see. Sport fanatics will see pictures posted by national teams, makeup gurus will see tutorials by famous you tubers, everything is bent to match you, and entice you, and drag you even further into this dark hole we call social media. That took quite a turn and as someone who uses social media so much it seems like i hate it. Which i do not. I think that it is a good thing but it can be a bad thing. For me, social media has become like a habit. I check it when i wake up, before i sleep, throughout the day, when i have nothing else to do it is something that is there and that is constantly updated. I know of people who have a strong strong attachment to it, to the point where it makes them anxious if they do not have access to it, and i do not think i am one of those people. But i do believe that it can be very easy to become one of those people. I do hope that in the future social media will become something that the world uses in its free time, as a leisure activity, rather than something it needs. But i do not think that this will be the case. As it evolves and becomes even more technologically advanced,  i think that people will become more and more dependent on media.
