Between technology advancements like photo shop,
fake profiles, and hiding in virtual games, technology has consumed our lives.
We escape from reality and make our own virtual world to forget the bad in the
world, even though the bad in the world challenges your good. We create fake
profile to make ourselves feel better, but play with everyone’s emotions and
fall in love with the person you are talking to, but you’re profile picture is
not you. They fall in love with the idea of the person and not the actual
person. Once you get caught and meet face to face, all of that changes and all
that’s left is hate and betrayal from toying with their emotions. Also, all of
the fake beauty created for this world, doesn’t help. It all ties together.
Creating photos of people that are unobtainable to become, you make people want
to run and hide to virtual worlds and create fake profiles to be loved.
Technology has given us the opportunity to run and create the unobtainable and
the virtually reality that we all hope at the end of the day are real. Technology
makes issues and consumes us and we can never escape; It is an addiction and we
never want to stop and we never will.

ReplyDeleteIn talking about social media, I may have to agree with the first part of the sentence; but I don't fully agree with the last. We might be able to break free from social media one day. However, I also fear we might introduce something very similar to today's social media as a substitute... In that sense, the substitute would not be seen as such, rather as an upgrade to what we already have.
I really like this idea and this is sort of what I wrote about. You're right about how easy it is to use technology in order to transform into somebody completely different and how easy it is to get stuck in a lie. Once you get stuck in the lie, it is sometimes hard for the truth to come out, especially over social media. It is sad that people feel as though they cannot love themselves for who they truly are and feel like they have to change their identity in order to fit some standard society set.
