Journal 3- Social Media

After watching Digital Nation, there are a few different ways I am considering going with my paper about social media.  I can think up both positive and negative arguments for our nation’s use of social media.  It all depends on what the person is using social media for.  The video ranged from second graders learning how to use computers, to teenager’s addictions to video games, to the violence of video games with the military.  I was sort of astonished by some of the facts I heard about the addiction to video games. I know that people become addicted to the games but not that they will sit a whole entire day or even for more than twenty-four hours in front of a screen playing these games; I wouldn’t be able to play that long.  I also believe that the gaming places they showed in Japan should not allow the gamers to stay for that long or more than a couple hours.  A positive that I kind of saw from the video was the military playing the violet video games; it is more of a hands on experience for the people that are looking into joining or are already part of the military. Violent games can help you prepare better for what a person might see or experience while they are deployed better than listening to someone else’s experiences.  I will more than likely discuss in my essay, the subject of young children at schools learning how to use computers because I can argue from both a negative view and positive few of this subject. I have many opinions on this subject I can’t wait to expand on.
