Advances in technology up until now have made tremendous strides for the better. Whether this be in terms of medical technology or terms of communication, I can honestly say I think it helps for the most part in every aspect of our lives. It has never been easier to communicate with any of your friends from different parts of the world. Sure, there may be some issues with the way social media has affected the younger generations, but that can also be counteracted by the good it brings.
As someone who can be considered a part of this "Generation Like", I think that the problems shown in the video can be looked at on a case to case basis, especially when it comes to how people think that they have to prove their self-worth through social media. I don't think it can solely be based on social media alone, but there's a bigger problem at large that needs to be fixed when people start to think that way.
The way I see it is this: social media is a what you want to make it. If you want it to be a professional only account that you can use for going into job interviews and such, make it that and post like that. If you want it to be for your closest friends only, talk to them and post to them. If you want it to be some sort of public diary where you're looking to gain followers, write what you will and hope that you're heard.
Social media can be what you want it to be. Do as you wish with it. You don't have to be a part of "Generation Like".
