2.01

How is social media impacting how we remember and recount events? Social media is really changing from way back when to now. Everyday and everywhere everyone is saying whatever they feel like saying in their famous applications like Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, and etc. but when we remember things that have happened to us, we just go back to a certain page and are able to see it. No more discussing, no more old photos, no more of the fun times. Kids are all caught up on the newest phone than how your grandparents are doing. So its good because you could post something today and remember it in a year from now but its bad because social media is just based on new updates, new technology that we don't really care about the past since the present is better. Does only documenting the "pretty" things in life affect our social media identities? Yes it does! All the ugly things got and made us be where we are now. Either short, tall, fit, fat, intelligent, or even successful our most ugliest times were some of our best. The pretty times are great as well but pretty hurts.
