This youtube video focuses on how social media has had a negative impact on the lives of many young people of this generation.  It tells us about how social media has allowed us to, over time, has taken over our lives and has been made to be an essential part of everyday life.  Although social networks have widened our horizons and have allowed us to explore and discover new technologies, there are also many negative effect due to this.  One of them being an addiction so social media in which we are not able to go without looking at our phones for a day and feel like we have to keep up to date with the latest networks in order to fit the 'social norms' and fit in with others.

This video points out the flaws with media outlets and encourages us to live our experiences in reality and not through the screen on the phone.  It tells us that socialising by talking to one another is now seen as an issue if it's not through a phone; we make relationships through technologies that we may not even be able to maintain if we were to interact with people when they are in front of us.  Technology has gathered momentum and fears of children becoming hooked at such a young age is also becoming an increasing issue that has risen.

It shows us what it would be like without having a phone or social media there to comfort you.  It shows us that we need to be there in the moment and make memories with real people in real places instead of staying in one room isolated from the rest of civilisation because social media has has this effect on you.  Making memories is grand and should be appreciated.  Although technology has been greatly appreciated by millions around the world, we mustn't forget that it is an artificial world that we as humans have created, but the real world is still outside.
