Summary- We rely on technology these days and we also have a lot of opinions how we do things on said technology. One of them is seeing ourselves and self image. This article talks a lot about self representation and how we view our selves and others on social media cites. We see ourselves in many different ways and social media has a lot to do with it. We want to be seen as funny or beautiful so we express ourselves on social media cites to feel better about it. Drawing is a good way to express feeling as well. Only 20-30% of the population was literate in the seventeenth century, so people began drawing to show their thoughts. The way people text shows how they are. If you are friendly you probably text with more energy. Self representation can be expressed in many different ways.

Analysis

I think judgement is bad but it is hard to say nothing when you see a model posted a picture on instagram. I think people can post whatever they want on any social media site, but they should be watching the comments that they are making. Someone can really get hurt when they read the comments someone makes on a picture. Why when someone posts something people always want to jump on and start saying mean things. I think they should make social media a safer place for people posting. They need to make comments to be nicer for the actual person that posts something. A app that can see what people post and get rid of mean comments so someone doesn’t get hurt.
