In my English 100 class we read an article called “I, tweet,
Therefore I am.” This article discusses
how people use social media sites to convey a fake persona of how they want
others to perceive them. The author,
Peggy Orenstein, discusses that when she tweeted, she was describing a
situation in a way that she wanted others to react to. In today’s era of social media, people are
broadcasting the smallest details of their life. Even though a situation may be meaningless,
people will broadcast it and try to make it seem meaningful. Many
people live less in the moment of what is really happening, but more in the
moment of what they want people perceive of them.
