The world we live in is very media driven. Especially young students who NEED it to construct and manage their friendships and social lives. If you were to ask a student "Can you go a day without using social media?” they might respond, "Oh No!". This is the generation that we live in now, where students are so plugged into their devices that they are no longer connected to the world. It's not just an addiction, but it's a way of life! It's sad how someone can be deeply involved with social media 24/7. Students are constantly on their phones whether its in between classes, during class, in the bathroom, and etc. Today's generation has definitely pushed the limits on the use of media and its importance. Imagine not being able to function correctly without logging into Twitter or Facebook. The moment the young student feels unplugged they grow cravings. This blog will discuss our high dependency on media. In specific, the blog will examine college students and how they are constantly plugged in. Look around any college campus and you will be sure to find students connected to one another via media outlet. Are you plugged-in?
