Final promopt

 I believe my relationship with technology is not healthy. It is very easy to use your phone often if it is always in your pocket. I do not intend to be using my phone for a long time period however if i am not doing anything i may get stuck watching youtube, Netflix's, or instagram videos. 

I believe technology is taking too much time in my life however it can have a positive impact 

Negatively this can keep me distracted or procrastinate from getting things done 

While swiping on instagram there are short videos that you can watch on it. 

Depending on what it is some of them are motivational, inspirational, and knowledgeable , 

For every positive thing you gain from a video there are five other videos that are useless 

Depending on the person and their character they may be able to gain the skill of sorting out useless information from relevant 

Others may be easily manipulated by what they see, hear and believe even if it is not true 

This is an example of the Illusory truth effect 

One thing that i think people are not aware of is that 

the stuff a person posts online 

ANYONE

 can screenshot of or take a picture of it with a different device . 

For instance if you post a video of yourself doing something inappropriate now anyone that saw it has something against you that they can try to show your boss or different circumstances 

  

I believe i do have a large digital footprint. 

I have been using technology since a child and had gotten my first phone in middle school

The main reason for getting the phone as a kid was for when i go out i can contact my mom to let her know if I'm ok 

The iPhone however do not only have the call feature but apps such as snapchat, facebook...etc

I am not a person that posts pictures everyday or videos of myself online 

I use these apps to communicate with friends like Snapchat and instagram 

Or to keep myself occupied 

If someone collected all of my information about everything i ever posted on social media since i was a child i believe it would be a lot 

I think social media makes some people depressed because their chasing a high of trying to get attention and to make everyone think a certain way about them

Users want positive feedback from people and want to even compare themselves to others

In reality nobody is paying it attention or cares about this type of stuff 

Usually this is in the users head 

This makes the one posting feel drained, lonely, or even like no one likes them 

I know that 9/10 people really could no care less what another person posts 

As the internet is not a main concern 

Finally when i look my name up a picture of myself from high school pops up from when i was on the wrestling team 

This is posted by the public school which i believe if i emailed to remove my picture they would 

This is not a negative but nobody wants to see themselves online if they are not the ones that put it up there
