Social Media & Common Sense Response
Social Media & Common Sense Response
I do think there should be a guide about how to use social media responsibly, even though most people already understand the basics about using social media responsibly in the real world, there are people like the woman(Cathy Cruz Marrero) in the particular video where she walks into a fountain because she was way too distracted by her phone, while walking around in the mall. But I think most people who own a mobile device like a tablet or a phone know when it’s appropriate to use them. There are people who don’t think they’re putting anyone in danger when they text and drive, which is pretty sad. I do think we miss lots of important things when we’re out with friends or family, and we’re constantly just looking at our mobile devices checking on what other people are doing. But there is a positive between all of this negative. It’s easier to receive information from all around the world, which in my opinion is amazing. People today are puppets, so if you’d tell them to look around in a “cool” way then I’m sure they would. A guide is needed to tell people how to use their devices responsibly because there are some people who weren’t taught common street smarts.
