Social Media affects on Teenagers and... the FUTURE!

Today, I am blogging about the effects of social media, mainly Twitter and Facebook, and teenagers. For the most part, teenagers mostly communicate by means of either texting, Facebook, Skype, or even Twitter to talk to our dearest friends that cannot be right next to us. This has really shaped our entire world and the ways we communicate. Since all we do is communicate in short hand like lol or rofl or brb, all of this really has an effect on our educational world as well. Since we get used to writing in short hand a lot of the time, sometimes we get tricked into writing this way in our academic writing as well. To me, since we are all becoming more technologically advanced with all aspects of our lives, eventually our way of writing will be condensed into this short-handed form. Many of the adults that we have contact with every day (parents, professors, bosses, ect) have a real problem with this way of communication saying phrases like its “unprofessional” or “immature”. To me, I just feel that this is their way of rebelling against the new wave of technology that they know that is unstoppable. With kids of all ages, even some of the younger kids I babysit for (3^rd grade) has an “I-Phone”. So even with all of the resistance coming down from our elders, eventually they will give in, and all we will be doing it using text language in our workplace and our everyday communications lives. I mean hw bad can it rly b? Les wds the bttr rite? Shrt, swt and 2 the pnt!

Today my blog post is about the effect of social media on our society in sports. All of the new aspects of social media have really affected the sports world. An example of this is the relatively new web site, Twitter. Twitter has revolutionized the way that athletes express themselves. Before all of the new publically accessed social media, a player would need to have a press conference or release a statement if they wanted to make and public comments. Now, since Twitter and other web sites, all an athlete needs to do is log on to their account, and type. Boom that is it. They could take shots at teammates, criticize their manager/coach, or even just complain in general, and they do not even need to speak a word of it. All they need to do is just type and submit. What makes it even better for fans is that they can get constant updates from their favorite stars. You can “follow” your favorite stars, such as Ochocinco, who has over three million followers himself. With all of this new technology today, it makes it so much easier to keep track of what your favorite athletes are doing at any time in the day or night. To me, this is a great thing for both fans and for the media. For the fans it makes getting information easier, and for media it makes it much easier to write interesting stories for their articles. So overall, the new social media is a “win-win” for mostly everyone involved.

Stay safe my Friends!
