Social Media

Reading and writing this article only heightens my sense of the use of social media. I use it everyday for personal uses or business/work related uses. It is grained into us now that you need media to live. We discovered that during our day of writing down every encounter we had with media that yes we use it when we are bored and to communicate with others but there were other forms of communication before cell phones and computers. I love the idea of Netflix, "Reed Hastings created an entirely new business — renting DVDs through the mail — then reinvented it with the introduction of streaming video. Most recently, he made streaming video a real alternative to premium cable channels, with the introduction of original content." I watch Netflix when I'm bored or when I need to do research for a class it has become useful to our daily lives just like Google or cell phones. We are the generation for technology.
