Everyday Changes

Social and digital media effects our daily lives more than we may realize. If you look at the different sites that college use on a daily basis: Facebook, twitter, instagram. You'll see that people post with the desire to show off or feel recognized by receiving likes, favorites, etc. How much effort goes into these pictures or posts that could be put to better use if this digital environment didn't exist? I've recently been watching That 70's Show on netflix and personally I think I would prefer growing up in a time where everyone didn't know what you were doing and everyone wasn't mindlessly staring at their lit up screens. I think that social media can have its benefits, but I feel like it is being over used for stupid nonsense that wont matter 1 day from then.
