Social Media is anti-social

Look Up

I could go on about this video for a while but basically my attitude towards it is that I disagree. Some points are valid, everything in moderation. But technology has allowed us to connect with people in a way we never have before. This affects me because my brother and dad are overseas and I can viber them, send them pictures, skype, call and email all because of technology and everything is instant.

This was one man's response to the video. A parody which says technology is very useful and is not our enemy, it also is interesting because at the end he reveals he has an american accent and says the charm of an english accent, editing and cheesy rhyme persuades people to suddenly freak out about having technology

This is another parody that copies the costumes, lighting and editing techniques as well as the rhyming pattern. It is against what the original was talking about and says how technology is used everyday and it's apart of our lives and it's not a bad thing at all as it makes contact between people easier.

Youtubers react to look up
This is people who live in technology, it's their job. So seeing their opinions was interesting because they were all against it, they understood the message but they didn't agree that it was that terrible.

This is interesting because people are using technology to debate the act of social media online. So technically all those against had to find this site through technology. People on this sight are more against then for social media.

This person is sarcastic and I don't like their tone with me. But at least they say it should be used in moderation rather than saying not at all
