Comments on: Where is The Chill? Important Questions to Ask Ourselves when Social Media Reporting. http://miriamposner.com/dh150w15/where-is-the-chill-important-questions-to-ask-ourselves-when-social-media-reporting/ Coming of Age Online Wed, 19 Oct 2016 13:07:17 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.9.26 By: sofreshsteph http://miriamposner.com/dh150w15/where-is-the-chill-important-questions-to-ask-ourselves-when-social-media-reporting/#comment-192 Mon, 09 Feb 2015 02:54:03 +0000 http://miriamposner.com/dh150w15/?p=592#comment-192 Very well written and I like the points you made. 🙂
I’m sure that girl called the police since she had her phone….so maybe the picture was taken in between the time the abulance could get there and the time it happened. I feel like…. in some weird sort of way she was trying to reach out for help and maybe if she has a lot of friends on snapchat someone could have gotten to her faster than the medics? Maybe it was to show she was okay, but also in need of help… I have no idea. And yeah, maybe she was trying to report her own stuff… the only way she knew how

It’s definitely a bit odd… and I think it’s important to ask if it’s worth it, before posting something that prepetuates an idea you do not approve of.

Even with these photos with the message behind it, it seemed really personal and odd to put on social media, especially because he was the person who was drunk driving. I know there was definitely a message behind this, and it was a good one–but still it left me really surprised that he chose to broadcast what had happened so openly.
In this scenario as well, it is interesting how she has to post her accident to almost make it real and show others how bad it was. I feel like there is this line that is very gray that some people see and others don’t about what is appropriate to put on social media.

Not just “Is this interesting?” But “Is this actually meaningful?” It’s one-click easy to share, but it disrupts the process to question your own motives. It’s also pretty interesting this idea about “pictures or it didn’t happen”. This is what I find so interesting about Snapchat. The functional aspect that only allows you to take real time photos (meaning you can’t just upload an old picture a la Instagram) means that you are there, right now, experiencing that. With this, you can’t falsify a picture or falsify your experience as it presents itself to others.

I would say this is more true for Facebook where I now post maybe just weekly. Instagram on the other hand I post to maybe two or three times a week. I understand the idea of reporting on yourself before anyone else does, but I wonder, do people care enough about others than themselves to post about them on Facebook? I am being a pessimist when I say this but I see these social media outlets and pedestals of pride and vanity. People don’t post selfies for other people, they post them for themselves with the hope or even the expectation that others like it or comment on it.
I like how you brought up the argument that if there are no pictures it didn’t happen. For this reason I’m all for taking photos of sunsets, tourist attractions, parties, events, places, and even food. I question though, how do selfies play into this idea. Yes the photos of the car accident go to prove it happened, but is it necessary. I would personally try to forget something like that, I wouldn’t want visual reminders. I guess to each their own.

That being said, I love the connection you made with Beyonce/Jay-Z. Similar to my post talking about how celebrities are now starting to report their own news, we as millennials do like to report ourselves as well. The question you raise is tough to answer, though. No one really knows why we’re reporting what we’re reporting exactly; we can only speculate motives, but I don’t think we’ll ever be able to see exactly why we post things. Kudos to you on your social media content filtering, though. I know sometimes I post things without thinking, which sometimes turn out badly.

The concept of posting this to public is so crazy and ridiculous to me that I kept thinking that these snapshots were fake or something. I think your whole post brings up an interesting point about appropriateness of posting when it comes to social media, as I also wrote about it for my blog post this week too. Where do you draw the line on what to publicly share? I know I definitely have posted stuff that can be seen as questionable, but why do we do it? I also think the medium of Snapchat is unique in this situation because, at least for me, the idea that your snapchat or snapstory is convenient to post little tidbits of your life and they will disappear after 24 hours makes it more enticing to post almost anything and everything without even really thinking of what it is you are sharing.

I often post things without taking time to think about why I am posting it. I think asking this question about social media posts is important in the same way that people that don’t have anything nice to say, shouldn’t say anything at all. Maybe if that person had thought about what they were doing instead of trying to post pictures to their fans, they wouldn’t have gotten in that car accident!

People are more inclined to snapchat negative incidents from recklessness to have a story to tell. As humans we are generally vain, we enjoy the occasional selfie and to broadcast snippets of our lives even when it means enjoying our usual taco Tuesdays. I think its a really good and pertinent point to bring up the paparazzi and media as an example. We are always drawn to the lives of celebrities even if its doing the normal everyday things.

I think social media is making us a little vain and you’re right about the: “if you don’t take a picture..it never happened.” Humans like to show off, we usually only post the awesome things in our lives. I wonder why that girl decided to post that? Because she wanted everyone to know she was in a car accident? But there are bigger priorities! Crazy.
