Instagram is a social media website and app like many others that can connect and create interactions among different people from around the world. It is distinguishable among other social media apps due to its color choices and camera logo. This logo can draw new users no matter the age. For celebrities, it has become a way to keep in touch with fans and allow them to publicly share moments through a photograph or video. All Instagram users have a variety of options in which they can choose to communicate with others. They can post a picture with or without a caption, post videos, comment on others’ posts, connect it with snapchat to share your story, send a direct message, or even go on live on stream and allow multiple people

The three most significant new developments in society during my lifetime thus far would be: technology, social media, and education. For my father, the three most significant new developments in society throughout his lifetime would be the Soviet/Afghan War, migration, and technology.

Instagram is a free application that is located on cellphones in the apple store and google play. Instagram is a fun and exciting way to post your life with a lot of pictures. Strolling down my timeline I see people posting thousands of pictures about absolutely nothing or some people that have not posted in ages.

The Internet is the culmination of technological development. Thankful to it, humans have become multilaterally developed, the time has become a measure that has truly gained value, and science is more practical and accessible around the world. In his work:” The Shallows-What The Internet Is Doing To Our Brains”, the publisher and author Nicolas Carr explains on his experience how the Internet besides its benefits has an enormous defect-distraction, lack of concentration on the meaning of things, or an event. In his speech, he mentions a habit that we practice daily and we do not realize his negative impact, namely the lack of concentration caused by “over welling urge to get up and check email, start clicking on links, do some googling” even

Instagram is a social media platform launched in October 2010 (Instagram, 2017), which allows users to upload pictures and videos to share with others either publicly or privately. In the latter case only a selected number of followers, who have been given access from the account holder, are allowed to see the content.

Social media has had an exponential impact on society today. Everywhere you go, you see young millennials carry a electronic device in their hand. Every five minutes or so, they check that device in their hand and go to social media apps such as snapchat: to send “rad” pictures to their friends. Or they go to instagram, and post an aesthetic photo with the caption of “No caption needed.” As much as I like Snapchat, Instagram has a variety of features that will improve your photographs.

Simon Hill explores how the internet and its continuous use can destroy a person’s attention span in his article "Is the Internet Destroying Your Attention Span? We Asked an Expert." Hill discovers from Dr. David Greenfield, founder of the Center for Internet and Technology Addiction and Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at the University Of Connecticut School Of Medicine that “On a functional level people have a much higher degree of distractibility, when it comes to digital technology,” The concept by Dr. David Greenfield is enforced by a study by the British Bank Lloyds TBS the average attention span had fallen from 12 minutes in 1998 down to 5 minutes in 2008. Hill’s discovery’s show how the technological advances of social media

People argue the average attention span has decreased over the year as technology increases. Brenner agrees, “According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information, at the U.S. National Library of Medicine, the average attention span of a human being has dropped from 12 seconds in 2000 to 8 seconds” (Brenner 1). This statistical evidence connects to the issue of technology because this data was recorded from the National Center for Biotechnology. I think technology has had a toll on people today because of the instant feedback we can receive from the internet. This can connect when teenagers are texting and driving as we relate back to the information appetite Jacob Silverman discusses. We want the instant feedback and information as Silverman stated and that is why he named the chapter “Big Data and Informational Appetite,” to reflect the information we crave. The informational appetite connects to the attention span and multitasking phenomenon teenagers are witnessing on a daily basis because teenagers want the next update and

Instagram is the world’s greatest picture sharing social network. Instagram was created by Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger and then sold to Facebook’s owner Mark Zuckerburg for $1 billion in cash and stock. Just in three months Instagram gained one million users. Most apps that are on the top charts paid tons of money to get there, but the photo sharing app, Instagram, easily sparked its way to the top without spending a dime (Cutler). Today, Instagram has managed to rack up over 150 million active monthly users, while also averaging around 40 million pictures that are shared on Instagram (Patkar). Although Instagram is incredible in its accomplishments and is now worth about 35 billion dollars, there are some policies that the average user would like to change about the app. When analyzing the popular app, the sharing of user’s photos to third parties, the inactive username policy, and the usage of device identifiers have played a major role in the lost of many Instagram users in the past few years.

Society is constantly changing and will continue to change in the future. The change is predictable because people change their ideas, routines, and views frequently. One of the topics that is typically brought up when discussing the influences on how society is changing, is social networking. There are two sides to every story. One side of the effects of social networking is that it is beneficial to society by informing people on particular situations in the world and on current important events. The other side views social networking as dangerous and drama filled. While there are benefits and dangers to social networking's effects on society, I will argue that social networking has changed society more negatively than positively.

When texting and writing emails, there are some things that you have to consider before clicking the send button. There is also some things to consider when creating and maintaining a Facebook page before clicking the post button for the world to see.
