Social media

In this post-modern era, we are wired by the influence of social media. They became a part of our lives, and everyday we never miss a day without checking our email, Facebook, Tumblr (only girls use tumblr), Youtube and other social accounts. Of course we constantly check, like and share various funny posts and quotes that we seem to laugh or to relate at with. They can be inspirational quotes, 7-second Vine videos, funny pictures, various kinds of meme pictures shared from 9gag or for some, Imgur. I am a fan of memes, particularly Countryball memes.

Some of our friends and most people, particularly those who were famous, make funny videos and funny faces in pictures in order to spread good feeling to their fans and to their friends. They also make pictures that portray reality in the form of ridicule and sarcasm, especially when it comes to social issues, world events and their observation of daily life. They post the things they want to say from the heart and want to say wise things, share to their friends because they want to express themselves of their feelings to their friends in the Internet, or share some, well, "wisdom".

These things are very okay, but it seems online materials feed our own narcissism that we keep on glorifying ourselves and often claim about how "cool" and "hip" we are but entirely different in real life. With these online materials, we can use this in order that the people will accept us of who we are, in order that people would look unto us as "wise", "witty", "enlightened" and in order to become cool in our own ways. But you would realize that everything is an illusion. The Internet is entirely designed to make people closer through communication and entertainment but not shamelessly express our stupidity.  In the end, it is only you that matters most.  The one who is entirely different, entirely private, entirely naive and unaware that all of these things only come to pass. We would find another way for ourselves to express  and to make our audience feel good about it, especially about you.

But in the end, it would only lead you to nowhere.
You're just wasting many hours on PC or in smartphone on these trivial stuff.
