"Social Objects"

The other day in class, we viewed a video on Jyri Engeström. Jyri, who works with google, had some very engaging information to say about the social media/social objects. He talked about the many different websites such as Facebook and Youtube, and how these websites tend to have an impact in our lives whether it be for a positive or negative reason. He basically brings to attention how these are all sources that connect us to everyone and everything. As much as people want to rid theirselves from this social media, it is quite a difficult task to accomplish for the fact that these social objects are irresistable. The only way that a person could actually isolate theirselves from these mobile/technology devices is if they are locked in a room for good because once they get out of that room...they'll be back to being connected with the social media once again. Hard to say, but social media is everywhere people...DEAL WITH IT!
