Journal 3 Social Media


Social Media

            I would have to say after watching the Social Media Documentary; I was given an even poorer outlook on gaming. I understand that technology is important to society, even to us as students in college, but I had no idea the extreme in which it has been taken. The gaming lifestyle that a large portion of society falls into is very unrealistic to me. At one time in my life I watched my younger brother live that lifestyle, which has left me with a distasteful perspective. My brother would go days upon days in front of a TV on XBOX, and dare you walk in front of him while he was playing. It even got to the extreme of him not sleeping properly. I would go to sleep and he would be on it, I would wake up and he would be on it. It didn’t matter what time of day, he lived and breathed those games. It even it got to the point of him not eating and having bad hygiene. Days would go by and he hadn’t showered or even thought about brushing his teeth. It became what I would like to call a terrible addiction. I am not saying everyone is like this, but it is something that happens, not in just kids, teenagers, but us as adults. It can become very unhealthy and I feel that it is something that should be monitored in our younger generation, so that as they grow older they know their limits therefore not allowing it to become an unhealthy addiction.
