Social Media…
As each day passes we notice Social Media is playing a
dominate role in people’s lives.
Facebook introduced a “LIVE” feature that if I’m not mistaking can only
be accessed after you “Check-In” to a location.
Pinpointing your exact time and space in the Universe as you record live
footage. This is very interesting when
you really analyze the bigger picture of what you are allowing. Facebook will have more chronological information
about your life experience then you will even remember if you don’t bother to
journal good experiences. Instagram has
extended the video footage time so you can provide more of your experiences to
the world. I’m sure the new and upcoming
platforms will provide different features but at the end of the day it’s your
experiences: Good, Bad, or Indifferent
being collected. Where is all this
information being stored? I’ll wait!
Secondly, we noticed a lot of people are willing to share
negative news before promoting positive news.
The infamous statement screamed out in this day and time is “World Star”! Is this the Society we’ve become? We watched a video where a women taped a man
stealing a motorcycle in broad daylight and instead of calling 911 she elected
to endanger herself and record the entire theft. What good are you if you’re only going to
record the incident and post it to Social Media? This is a trained behavior that is abusive to
your ability to discern when assistance is needed, and will ultimately dismantle
your compassion for others. Choose to be
an “Agent of Change” not a spectator.
Lastly, our personal opinion is that Social Media should not
be used to tell your every move, your every location, your every
experience. We strongly believe that people
that use Social Media for this purpose have very low self-esteem. A person that seeks that much attention lacks
a valuable amount of privacy, and love of self.
Would you ever believe you are under surveillance 24 hours a day, and that
you contribute to over half of that surveillance by your Social Media behavior?
Think about it! We could attach various studies
and research about how psychologist view this behavior and have diagnosed it as
such, but we wanted to put it in layman's terms, very basic so you can comprehend
how a behavior can turn into a chronic illness.
Be mindful, be aware, be cautious, be private, and love yourself.
Peace, Love, & Privacy –
