Scrolling through Facebook and Twitter really wasn’t that exciting. It’s a continuous update of the same things over and over again. For example, I just saw the same video shared about 4 times. Did I press “like” on one of them? Yes, I did. I contributed to the same recycled things (which we can probably consider garbage) for no reason in particular. When I am on Facebook or Twitter, I don’t necessarily look forward to anything. I sit there and read about peoples lives and how much they work or how much they love their cat. Everyday is the same thing.
When I use new media, I like to think I’m positively contributing articles that actually mean something. On twitter I follow a lot public relations and advertising companies. When something I find interesting or helpful, I retweet it. As much as I can complain about new media and how dull it is, I actually really love it. It’s a form of instant communication between you and people from all over the world. Its interesting to see the connection with people you might have never met in person.
When I’m making a decision to post/retweet/like/share something, I make sure it is something that I know is interesting. There is a lot of stuff on new media that does nothing but contribute fake laughs an educational facts. Its not a complex thing, but rather a strategic platform. New media can reflect a lot about a person, especially when they have strong views on a certain topic and feel the need to tell the whole world. New media is a reflection of your image and your life online.
