I have decided to focus my reesearch paper on how social media companies created products such as Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, etc have changed how people interact toward eachother. I believe that social media has made people feel satisfaction through likes, posts and messaging. It has created an illusion to make people feel happy for a few moments but sadder for extended periods of time. For example, if someone got 95 likes on one post instead of the 110 likes they got on another post, they think people do not like them as much or they look bad in the picture. But if this situation occurred inversely, people would think they look better or more people like them. In reality, most likely what happened is that more people saw your post which lead to more likes. People act differrently on social media than in person which is why words like "fake" are used more often. My generation is more depressed than previous generations whcih I believe social media has played a major role. Social media is the most widely used form of new media so it is critical we understand the behavioral changes that it has caused.
I have contributing in the wiki for the class in two categories so far: Third person shooter gaming and Accounting in social media. I have added pictures and content on both subjects. For the gaming section, I talked about Fortnite and its popularity. Fortnite grew to become one of the most popular games in the world due to its unique design but was eventually copied by competitors. Also, I discussed the importance of utilizing social media in the accounting profession. Accountant should use social media to expand their reach and their client base. I plan to contribute to two more sections and make edits where it is necessary. The wiki is a great place to share ideas and communicate and I plan to continue to contribute to it.
