Social Networks

Social networking has taken control of our generation. Kids would rather check twitter than do their homework. It is causing our generation to be ignorant, judgmental and irresponsible. Everyone is snapchatting instead of calling or meeting up. Skyping instead of going on dates. Texting at the dinner table. It has gotten so bad that social media has even ruined peoples lives. People are hacking, just to hurt people, kids are being bullied by someone behind a computer screen or a cell phone. It makes you think that you don't want to be a part of this generation or you simply just want to change it. It is possible to change our generation by not just basing your day off how many likes you get on your instagram picture, or by actually having a conversation with someone instead of snapchatting someone in the same room as you. There is a guy named Richard Williams better known as Prince EA (his stage name) he is a rapper, director and rights activist from St. Louis Missouri and he has youtube videos that describe this topic perfectly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRl8EIhrQjQ

Prince EA has the idea to change our generation from being social media addicts to regular common people who aren't going crazy over twitter followers, instagram likes and facebook friends. His idea simply includes getting rid of your social media accounts. It will make a difference. Also not just texting people all day, get out and meet up with them face to face. It's not to late to change our generation. Get out meet new people maybe try writing a letter to someone to keep your intelligence up instead of staring at a screen all day. It is said that the average person spends five hours a day watching television which is awful for you, losing braincells and simply being lazy. I challenge you to not use your phone for one week. It will be hard but it can be done. I have done it. It will make a difference and you will realize it as well. Your social media life is not as important as you think it is and you can live with out it.
