Social Media & The Diffusion Theory
I think when talking about Everett Rodger's, Diffusion Theory, social media should be the main thing referenced in today's world. We're already looking back in the years of our own century and realizing how insane the growth has been and how much it has and will change the world that we live in. I think that from it's conception, it would be clear that social media would be life changing and people would be using it all around the world. This comes about because of so many different reasons.
I think that there are definitely many negatives that come along with social media. There will always be people that will take all things positive and turn them into negative things. That is life. However, I feel as though staying off of social media leaves people more disconnected from reality. For someone like myself, social media is my life. By that, I mean that I am going into media production and in my life connections are the biggest thing that will get me to where I want to be in life. I am a firm believer that in most jobs the connection that gets you there is the biggest part of it.
So many people I know have applied to hundreds of jobs on LinkedIn just to get nothing in return, and I think that's why social media plays such a big part. On applications they even ask if you have any people that recommended you the spot. Even outside of jobs, just having a space to talk about interests, learn from others, have somewhere to connect with people across the world. Social media may have a part in breaking up our world, but in the bigger picture it connects the whole world together. I think that unless someone has basically the exact life they could ask for, there's really no benefits of staying off of social media.
