Experiences working on this project =)

Hello everyone, in this post we would like to share our experience working in this amazing project. :)

I personally really enjoy working on this assignment, it was quite interesting found out that social networking is taking control of our lives in a negative way but also the useful tool that those ones can be in our daily activities for example learning processes, getting in touch with our loves ones and so forth. Besides and my favorite part of this project was work on the videos, we enjoyed it a lot and we got in contact with very nice and kind acquaintance  that I am very grateful with. =)
What I got as a conclusion is that even though it has a great deal of disadvantages that can damage us in different aspects, what we have to do is just to try to take advantage of them as much as we can and do it in a very responsible way.

My point of view about this amazing project is that up-to-date Social Medial has become in one of the most important ways to get in contact, discover information, share memories, be updated about situations that are happening around the world and so forth, in an easy and fast way, so it makes our life easier than before... But we do not have to forget that Social Media brings negative aspects to our life, one of the principal ones is that sometimes we are so focus in our electronic devices and do to we do not pay attention to the simple, but at the same time to the important facts which are surrounding us, please never forget appreciate your loved ones, friends, the birdsong and a beautiful sunset, those daily situations are important that you take into account... 

For me it was a pleasure working with my pretty classmates Emi and Gaby, they never give up so it helps me to give my best.

-Karito-

Well, for me was a pleasure to work on this project. Almost all the people who are surrounding me know that I really love Social Media and all its aspects, so from this project I learn many important things. I have being involved on Social Media since I was a child but I had never seen it from the perspective of create a blog and write about it. There are many people interested on these topics and there are zillions of information about it. The part of create videos and go out and interview some people was an incredible experience. Just with the fact that people who do not speak English helped us it felt great. I want to thank them because without their help this blog wouldn't be the same. And finally I really love working with Karito and Emi, for me have worked with them is remarkable. They are the kind of classmates that evrybody wants to have. When you can work with people that really want to, and they give their best, you will see the best results. I hope you liked our posts and you had learn something new from them.

Facts about selfies

Up-to-date  people  usually take a picture, well thousands of pictures I mean, of themselves and as usual they immediately upload them to Social Networks accounts... This action is growing rapidly, but have you ever though about the negatives facts that it brings to our daily lives?

According to some studies, this action is the most annoying habit users because people do not realize  how horrible is this behavior if they do not do it moderately, at the same time it could alienating  family and friends.  

Instagram is the number one and the
principal selfie Social Networking site.

Selfie is a kind of narcissism.  First of all, just with the simple fact to have a Social Account is a narcissistic performance to do, but for users it is not enough and due to the lack of self esteem they will post a big quantity of pictures in many places with different behaviors and faces. 


There is a study reveled from three business schools in Europe which says that people who upload many photos on these virtual platforms will have a shallow relationships with other individuals at the same time intimacy is going to decrease. 


Individuals want to share photos in order to have as many likes as possible and receive a good feedback from others then, it becomes an addiction and people principally young people waste time doing this and avoiding daily duties; this new obsession's  generation has brought certain kind of actions or behaviors which the users to take a pic in every place they are, let say on the bed, in the mirror of the bathroom, in the beach, in the gym, when they are studying, with duck faces, but the worse part is that sometime those individuals do not realize how they are doing this action and they can come in a moment where upload photos with guns, alcohol, when they are smoking, in some incorrect places and for those reasons they will have a bad reputation and it is going to affect them at the moment to apply for a job or another important and professional situation; unfortunately, "selfie time" has been absorbing whole peoples's life until the moment that they are so focus on their electronic devices and do not pay attention to the family, friends and beautiful situations that are surrounding us... I am not saying that selfie is the worse action ever because you are able to share amazing memories, but if we do not have a balance it could show about us a bad background... 

We invite you to try new and interesting things to your valued time, selfie at the end could bring mental health problems specially in the self confidence and negative attitude toward themselves, it might happen when they do not receive all the likes they expect it finishes feeling dissatisfied with themselves or their body.
