How much is too much

when i think of social media, one of the biggest question is how much time should we be spending on it.  There is obviously a limit, but the question is what is the limit?  Also have we already reached that point?
In my opinion, too much social media can be defined as when it becomes distracting to the point that someone is always on it or thinking about it.  There are many people who are at this point and I think that this should be considered too much.
But where exactly is the cutoff point?  Due to the advancement of modern technology, we use social media for many things in our lives such as research and even ordering a gift or food.  Too much social media can also be considered as when we rely on it for most of our daily tasks.
We rely heavily on social media for many things.  We use it for work, transportation, school, and communication.  But we also like to think as some of this use of it as being unavoidable and required, rather than just optional such as texting.
However, in my opinion, this can still be considered too much social media.  The reason that I say this is because of not only media being used for these circumstances but the fact that we rely on it and see it as the only possibility.  We think of these uses as being needed and there being no other way to fix the problem.  Because of this, I would classify these situations as being too much social media, depending of how many of these situations we find ourselves caught it.
If it comes to the point where we rely on it everyday and can't see a way to do what it is we think media is needed for without using it, that's when it becomes too much.

  1. You present an interesting idea about how much is too much media. The point you make about if you got rid of all the other uses, and just kept it down to what we considered essential, you would still be left with too much because social media is not the only option. I find it interesting that we have reached the point where media has become so much a part of our life that we begin to consider it a necessity to accomplish certain tasks that can be completed in other ways with out media. That does show us how much media has become a part of our lives. However, it has also made our lives easier, and if we are benefiting from this, is it too much?

Reflection

looking back at all of my media blogs, I think that as a whole they really helped to learn more about media and ads and how they affect us.  Sure, we wrote mainly about what we learned in class, but writing about the topics in my own way really helped to bring the information in and truly understand it.  I think that the project really helps to better understand what we learn in class.  While we can study the concepts and maybe talk about them with someone else, actually writing about it and applying it to something that appeals to us is what allows for the information to be truly driven home. Reflecting on my writing, I think that i could have done a better job.  I think that maybe tying to apply the concepts to more real life situations would really help, along with following a better plan while wrtiting. I think that if I had followed more of an outline for my blogs rather than writing more randonkly would have really helped to improve both the fluency of the wr...
