Media Literacy

In today's world, our lives revolve around the internet and what's to be found on it. Most people spend a lot of their time on the internet either on social networking cites, shopping cites like ebay, or just searching google or bing. Most people nowadays probably wouldn't know how to live their lives without the internet or just technology in general. Everyone pretty much has a smartphone now and they have internet on their phones; there's also iPads, iPod touchs.


The videos I watched on youtube were Social Media Revolution and Did you know? They talk about the percentages of people how in web. Like one of the facts were 1 out 5 couples meet on an online dating site. Match.com for instance is an online dating site and things like that work for some people and doesn't work for others. The internet is just full of possibilies for different types of people.



Now take Facebook, in one of the videos it says that facebook has more daily web traffic than google. Facebook is a popular social networking site. You can pretty much find anyone and any company on facebook. It's all about searching. Now if you take Twitter and Instagram, it's like you're just taking certain parts from facebook; Twitter being the status updates and wall posts and Instagram being the pictures only. Then there's Pinterest, it's like a girls' dream world or diary on the internet and all organized into boards on the internet. The internet is always expanding and coming up with new things for people to use in their daily lives.
