Prompt Eight

A social revolution that has occurred is the invention of social media such as facebook, twitter, or instagram. These sites were intended to connect to friends and keep in touch, share photos, and to express and market oneself through the use of the internet. In class we talked about the cell phones and the internet being a technological development so this led me to the idea of social media. Social media is definitely a revolution because it changes the way we think and behave. It could possible be considered a reform as well because it is a change for the better in many ways. It of course does has it downfall for example being bullied. It could also be considered a revival because it is taking old ideas such as connecting and bringing them into the light in a new way.
