How many social media accounts do you have?
How many different personalities do you have because of them?
Personally, I have SEVEN different social media accounts. I  sound ridiculous, even to myself.

Although, I know that I am not the only one.

In society today social Media consumes practically  everyone, and every part of their lives. Walking through an outlet mall the chance of not seeing an advertisement where at the bottom it says  "LIKE US ON FACEBOOK" is slim to none anymore.

Listening to The Podcast, Status Update, The listener is introduced to three girls. The three of them were so concerned with how many likes each one got, and how quickly each like came in. At some point they comment on how one of the girls received six like in one minuet. Its sad that they even feel like they feel they even need to keep track like that.  This is something I personally do myself, I notice how many likes each picture gets, who comments, and even keep track of the "prime time" to post something. I wouldn't say I feed off the" likes"  but I do notice when a post gets significantly less that the previous post before it, especially if I really like what I said or captured.  During Act One: Finding the Self in Selfie, I really related to the girls. They  talk about how it ca be scary to even post a photo, and how they get approval from friends before posting it. Hearing that other girls do that too made me think; "Why do we feel the need to get approval"?  Looking at my own life, and Social media accounts, I realized that I have stopped posting selfies. I'm always with other people. While its not necessarily a bad thing, because I prefer to show me having a good time with friends and family, but I think that it is also because I get scared that I will be faced with negative comments on just a selfie.
