Social Media, is a useful tool with many advantages. It allows us to connect with our peers, meet like- minded individuals and groups. Social media allows users to connect with others globally and efficiently and share thoughts and ideas. For many people social media is a positive experience, it's a distraction from life and many people will pick up their phones throughout the day to check for new content, look at news and to feel connected with friends and family. In the documentary The Social Dilemma, it takes a look at the positive affects of social media but focuses on negative side effects and the possible outcomes for the future of social media and communication. I thought that the documentary was thought-provoking and engaging to watch, I personally found the short story clips really added to the documentary and it was interesting to be able to see how social media gradually worsened the young man's life as the documentary went on. The documentary made me think about my social media habits, and made me want to spend more time offline. I think the documentary is something that everyone should watch, especially with social media becoming one of the most popular and powerful forms of communication.
