            Interesting things I learn in class today about how important it is to be aware of what we post and share on Social Media especially Facebook. Just last week most of my friends shared an article about a famous Tongan Rugby star (Korad Hurrell) in NZ filming a selfies sex video with a famous NZ actress (Teuila Bakely). The article mention that the guy was driving and he film themselves having sex in the car while he was driving. The video was to send to his friend as Snapchat but however, the article states that they don’t know who upload it to Instagram and the video had been shared around before it was deleted. I found this interesting because what I learn about Snapchat it does not replay what others send you it automatically deletes it. I know that he regrets this because he post a apologize video to all the Tongans. But I learn that once things are on the internet will be there forever like tattoos.  

Posting daily activities of their lives on Facebook I found it really annoying when people do it often. Sharing too much information about them may not be the best way of social networking. YouTube video that goes viral are shared based on our interest and videos are either hilarious or emotional. For a video to go viral must have many followers to share the video and if the video is epic! There will be more shares. Social media are useful in ways for job interview and are we comfortable sharing things that we want people to know about ourselves? I share uplifting quotes and funny videos but I will never imagine myself posting everything about me my wall. To tie back to our lecture before is that we are what we share and post, I mostly use Facebook every day. Social media is the most influence way to advertise on commercial products to consumer. We carry our device around and we constantly spend time on social media sharing post. Social media impacts us in a positive and negative ways, but it makes life easier.
