After reading the articles, i am on the side that social media will not affect my goals in the future, whether they include college or not. Mainly, i think that simply using social media will not make you one in a crowd, because everyone uses it. You are not the only person using it. Because it is so widely used, there will be no criticism to using it. Either thats the case or not, im not planning on going to college so it really cant affect my college plans if there isnt any.
After reading both articles, i have decided upon myself that neither were more persuasive in their articles. Both were using sentence structures and words i was not very familiar to, and thus led to me not being able to understand either article beyond the central point of the article. I think to decide which is more persuasive you have to be able to understand the article completely.
Before reading this article, i believed that the use of social media has no affect over a person's ability to get a job or their ability to get tasks done. I think this mainly because although i do have some social media accounts, i do not post in them and i am more of the person to comment and watch what others post. Although i could find something to say, i choose not to because i do not like to post everything i do on Facebook, and not be a like chaser. Even reading the articles, i am solid in my stance that social media has no hold or affect on anybodies professional life or job.
Heres the social media that i use:
-Facebook
-Snapchat
-Youtube
-rarely Tumblr
Honestly, i am not active that much on any of these platforms except youtube, because i watch a lot of videos. Given that i have an inactive presence on these platforms, i strongly believe that this will not affect an employer's view of me. There are few posts for them to go through, and the few posts there are, are not even from the current time rather from months ago.
