After switching my major to communication, media and it's use has become much more clear to me.
Everywhere you look, there is a reference to a social media platform. Even the nightly news asks for your option via twitter. "Generation Like" brought up a good example pertaining to how retweets, likes, and followers transcribe into currency. Today's generation is too invested in social media and their appearance on social media. We have shied away from posting things that spark our interest and have become more aware of other's interests. Everything that is posted is in hopes of getting likes and the more likes you receive, the better you feel.
It seems that personality on the social media spectrum of the web is slowly dying. Media influences are becoming stronger and it is evident that today's generation is picking up the hints they are placing down.
