What is Media Literacy ?
How I See Media Literacy
Media Literacy?
Media is something that we use in our everyday lives. The media informs us, entertains us, and sometimes distracts us which means there are some good things about the media but there is also some bad. It’s most effective with us students because we use our phones more than anybody. We can’t even sit in a class without pulling out our phones. We all sign up for Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, etc., but we aren’t always careful when using them. We may not always use them with common sense, but we know how to use them which makes us media literate.
Being media literate will always come in handy because you need to know how to find information, or you will want to know how to stay entertained, or you may even want to know how to post that picture on to Instagram. There is a down side to being media literate because sometimes people don’t know when to stop using the media. They watch TV for maybe 8 hours, stay on Instagram for 4 hours, and the information they find they plagiarize because they get too lazy to put it in their own words because everything is given to them.
The media may be helping us in the world, but it is also bringing us down. We are becoming lazy and making media more important than anything else in this world. Plenty of students rather play video games and be on their phone before doing their homework. It is time to correct media literacy and teach people how to be correctly media literate.

Social Media Reflection
There are many different kinds of social media, and they are used in many different ways. You have the usual sites that people go on to reconnect with people and find out what’s been going on with their old friends that they haven’t talked to in a long time. But, you also have different sites that people use to share their photographs with others, sites that users use to find recipes, and sites that are for different fandoms. What all these different sites have in common is that they connect people with similar interests and make them feel like part of a community, which is something that many people crave. They want to be accepted for who they are and these different sites help to make them feel that acceptance that they are looking for. But, these sites also help others to become more involved in their interests with others on the web who are interested in the same things as they are. There are millions of social media sites. You have varieties of Social Media, from entertainment to dating sites; it’s amazing how you can go from not having a computer that only has "windows" to being able to get on Snap Chat and see each other’s faces and speak to one another from thousands of miles away on your cell phone. It’s phenomenal how technology and social media has come along.
Social media's future is going to be out of this world, just imagine how magnificent it's going to become. It will probably get so real that you could possibly go through the screen of your phone, tablet, or computer; or it maybe get to the point of where the screen will virtually pop up in front of you. In the future, there will no longer be a twitter, Instagram, and etc. it'll be something way better than the last; the new and approved app or website.
