Relationships TED

I chose this area because it interests me a lot. There are many different types of relationships and it is neat to see what certain people like in relationships, whether it's boyfriend girlfriend, friends, teacher, student, parent. There are many different relationships. I hope to gain a better understanding of certain relationships that I don't understand so I can know why people do certain things. It inspired me because everything else looked kind of boring.

Generation Like

Well mostly what i do is post pictures on instagram or retweet funny tweets. I'm not really that into social media but yeah I'm on it. I  think our generation strives to get the most likes on everything they do when really I kind of think it isn't a big deal because really it's just a person clicking a button. I myself try to work towards real world goals, it doesn't bother me how many likes I get on social media because no matter what I have my friends, my family, and my goals and that is all I need.

I think we use the Internet a lot which is why I think it is funny that parents and schools put a taboo on phones and computers. We use Internet and computers for projects, research, games, advertisement, social accomplishment, and many more things. The reason why I think that it is so popular is because people want the chance to escape reality and to take a break from the real world. It has its pros and cons but overall the Internet is a good thing because it gives us a bunch of sources to find out what our mind craves.

I agreed with the documentary on the advertisements because once somebody gets famous everybody is pushing for them to wear their clothes or be in a commercial. It is all just a marketing ploy because they know people are going to be watching these videos. I also think they were right when they said people can get famous fast because kids that made YouTube videos in their basements 2 years ago can all of the sudden turn into billionaires, sometimes it doesn't make sense.

I disagreed with the documentary on the whole like thing because not everybody just goes on likes honestly I think comments are way more meaningful than likes because people can like your photo or post just because, where a comment takes time and thought not just clicking a button.
