2 Way Communication Powerpoint

When speaking on interpersonal connection, the sender is able to get adequate feedback regarding the message that they were communicating with the receiver. With the ongoing use of social media, this is available to a greater extent, except everybody can be a sender and a receiver on a grander scale. There is several different messages that are being broad casted to the masses daily, and this makes for more people being involved with sharing and creating messages more than ever. People not only can consume information on social media, but as the PowerPoint stated: everybody is just as able to create, as they are to consume information.

Big players in the game control and fluctuate big major corporations of social media. Google showing to have the most in assets (133 billion), they are the biggest controllers of the social media realm. The information that we put out on social media is in the hands of these big players, meaning that these people hold all the privacy and information given by consumers.

Social media has overall become used for commercial purposes in bigger proportions than anybody could have ever imagined, and how is it going to advance over the years?

Journal Articles of Interest to me

Below is the link to a New York Times article about why Instagram is the worst social media for your mental health. Although I agree with some arguments addressed, some points are also concerning to an active Instagram user.

Connected, But Alone?

In the TED Talk: “Connected, But Alone”, Sherry Turkle brings foreword issues amongst our society regarding social media and the use of our cellphones. Turkle explains cellphones as a gateway from our own “grieve and reverie”, as we indulge in a false image of others as well as ourselves. The idea that people wish to interact each other, but only on their desired time and control is a valid point that is brought to light. Real life situations do not let humans touch up and edit their conversation with one another, and the certain rawness to real human interaction can be lost amongst the use of cellphones. Texting can be used as short-term fulfillment of interaction with one another, but deeper connections between people need to go much further beyond that. Arguably the use of cellphones has made us less susceptible to be alone with our thoughts and emotions, and the constant pressure to be connected with one another can otherwise have an alternative affect, leading to less relationships overall.
