The second part of this article really interested me the
most because I sort of have a connection to this subject. The same reason that this article writes
about is why I do not have any sort of social media. I think that social media can be cool,
interesting, and useful, but I believe that it does more harm than good
especially when things can be so distorted and become a totally different
story. I remember when Ryan Dunn had
died and I do believe that twitter and social media had spread the word
incorrectly, and this lead to some very cruel and offensive things that were
said by famous people. Roger Ebert, a
famous film critic even tweeted," Friends don’t let Jackasses drink and
drive,”. Obviously, it was supposed to
be a joke, but I guarantee that this guy would never say this to one of Ryan
Dunn’s friends or family members face. So
I think that twitter and all other social media enables us to act differently
than we would in real life and I think it can will continue to lead to people
saying things that they definitely regret putting out there for the whole world
to see forever. I think that most of the
time people do this without thinking and it can be a true mistake, but I also
think that other people do put things out there simply because they can and I don’t
think that it is right to take advantage of the power of the internet and
social media. Because that I think I will
become a different person in the social media world I will try not to get
involved as much as I can.
R.I.P.
Ryan Dunn
