In this discussion group, we started with the idea of how social media impacts people\u2019s lives. We all immediately agreed that social media negatively affects people. People only post things online that they believe other people will like or that will make them seem cool. For example, when people are at parties they are always posting videos that look like they are having fun, but sometimes that person might not even be a party person, but they just want to seem cool to their peers. One member of the discussion said, \u201csocial media distorts reality.\u201d Which we all could agree with. You never see someone\u2019s true self by looking at their social media page. We also discussed how all the fun and excitement of a new experience is taken away because all people can think about is taking pictures or what their friends and followers are gonna think on social media. This related to Percy\u2019s ideas in \u201cThe Loss of the Creature.\u201d People no longer even realize that when they see something amazing, they immediately are reaching for their phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
