#selfsocietyclass Based on what we have learned in this class and seen in our lives, what do you think the next step in social media will be? Will there be a realization that we may have some kind of a problem or will it become further entrenched?

[Mike Moran @MikeMor58070944]

@kmr3441 I am just thankful that social media was not a part of my early life and I had been able to mature a little before being thrown into the world of social media.

[Mike Moran @MikeMor58070944]

@yolyssetheman I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that people realized they could be something online that they are not in real life and it has snow balled into the world we have today.

[Mike Moran @MikeMor58070944]

@JulesRutgers I think our expectations of peers and those around us have been raised to an unhealthy level due to people wanting to project a certain kind of online persona. #selfsocietyclass

@notdylanrusso I will have to check out that documentary, sounds interesting and very relevant.

[Mike Moran @MikeMor58070944]

@ParthB64214519 I also find myself getting lost down youtube rabbit holes!

@rz0696 I had never heard that term but I am sure it could be applied to a scary amount of people these days.

[Mike Moran @MikeMor58070944]

With the rise of the internet, people can now gamble at the touch of a screen instead of going to a casino, leading to severe addiction to the internet and online casinos #selfsocietyclass

[Mike Moran @MikeMor58070944]

Online games are notorious for harassment often times for no reason. People play games to get away from reality and unwind which makes it that much more awful when people feel the need to harass them during a time that is supposed to make them feel better/relax. #selfsocietyclass

[Mike Moran @MikeMor58070944]

@rz0696 This is the type of predatory behavior we need to call people out on. I am sorry your friend went through that #selfsocietyclass

[Mike Moran @MikeMor58070944]

@selinbellibas Body shaming is more relevant now more than ever with the rise of social media. It is important that we all make it known that we accept and embrace people for who they are and what they look like #selfsocietyclass

[Mike Moran @MikeMor58070944]

@YuknaLia This is a great example of textbook harassment. People viewing their hobby as exclusive and that they can deem who or what kind of people are allowed to enjoy it is just not right. #selfsocietyclass

[Mike Moran @MikeMor58070944]

@ManuelaDCIM I had never heard of roblox but I looked into it because of your tweet, very interesting

[Mike Moran @MikeMor58070944]

@laurentenRU I never played GTA as I have never played many video games but all my friends love to play!

[Mike Moran @MikeMor58070944]

@ElenaAnastasi3 Club penguin is a good example of a very friendly virtual world where you can play games and customize your avatar!

[Mike Moran @MikeMor58070944]

#selfsocietyclass While I do not participate in any virtual games or worlds, a lot of my friends love to play games like Fortnite, where you can chat with friends and random people and customize your own avatar.

[Mike Moran @MikeMor58070944]

@jkasica30 The role social media plays in movements like this one are crucial so they can gain support and a following to lead to change.

[Mike Moran @MikeMor58070944]

@LaygoClaudine I hadn't seen this account before, great example of a meaningful counter public

[Mike Moran @MikeMor58070944]

@McconleyTaylor BLM is a great example of how a meaningful movement can help bring change.

[Mike Moran @MikeMor58070944]

#selfsocietyclass Black lives matter is an example of counter public that we are seeing now more than ever help to spread awareness and bring change.
