Roast Fest

DZAM. Let the roast fest begin


Those two guys, err, one guy on both sides argued two main things about social. How social media boosts the society and how social media kills society.

Before getting into it, take a moment decide on what you want to believe based on the video.

3,                                   2,                                        1,                                        done?

Alrighty so, social media kills society, well it depends on what you believe is social media. I mean in the video, the more modern man was using a phone and was on twitter, facebook and texting people, where as the other more old fasioned man was recieving telegrams and phone calls. All of those are medias and all us to be social. 

But in this video, the modern man was explaining how social medias, such as facebook, twitter, instagram,.etc allow us to get immediate feedback, is a form of interaction and can allow us to connect with powerful people you otherwise couldnt. This is all correct but to a certain extent because the more old fasioned man argued that the feedback is frivolous. 

Even though modern man said social media is human interaction, old fasioned man said 140 characters isnt enough to be human interactions. I understand what he's saying but today we can have wayyyyyy more that 140 words. Its the future right now, woahhh. 



You know the video was pretty funny, dont you think?

I mean the way they talked, dressed up and acted all were comedic. But, they did manage to get important information accross about how social media is either helping society or killing it.

Btw, the intro was so counter acting to what the old fasioned man was saying but it all just made it more comedic.


So man, these guys got these vital points for the two arguements, but why?
Well it is so that we, the viewers can decide for ourselves. They cant tell us what to do (well social media kinda does tell us what to do but for this we'll say it cant), so they give us choices and we choose. 
What do you choose? Do you think social media is helping or killing society?
