When talking about social media, and digital media what keywords come into your mind?
Tools to connect the world、 Virtual forms of communication、Content production、Fresh information、New channels of communication、 Easier expansion of social circles.
The rapid rise of social platforms has brought convenience to the use of new media, but also brought risks and challenges to users. The tools sought after by the public actually hide their own drawbacks behind the scenes.
1. Time and space anxiety
When immersed in the information brought by the network, people obviously feel the rapid passage of time makes the original plan is constantly delayed rather than hanging out on social media to complete the task at hand. People are more and more accustomed to turn on the online mode, and even form media dependence, once off the network, offline state will only feel lost.
2. The consequences of users’ own quality
I believe you will also encounter keyboard man in social media, who use the online world characters to vent their attacks indiscriminately, often ignoring the events themselves. Much of the information posted on social media is not the complete cause and effect of an event, but is simply edited by the publisher into the side he wants users to see. Rational thinking on the Internet is drowned in emotional speech, an invisible network, violent, insulting, inflammatory words and the consequences of public opinion can often affect a person’s life.
3. Commercialization of publicity leads to a vicious circle of distrust generated by customers.
Have you ever encountered a situation where you bought a product from a very favorite Instagram he advertised on social media, and when you trusted the bill you found out that what he said was wildly different. This is now a very obvious phenomenon in the Internet circle. Many influencers they just to be able to earn money to promote a poor quality product. He will make fans of consumers to influencers selling products to produce a resistance to the psychology.

Hi，Jingwen！This is a very good blog. It illustrates the limitations of social media from three aspects: spatio-temporal anxiety, user quality and customer distrust. Finally, it explains some limitations of social media through hyperlinked video, which makes the whole article complete and gives me a deeper understanding of the limitations of social media.

Hi, Jingwen. You have written a great blog. You have applied three different areas to show the limitations of social media, like the time spent, user quality, and the company’s promotion. Also, you have used a video to sport the third opinion. Based on that, I suggest you add some relief life examples to support your first two opinions, or maybe you can use some academic evidence to prove your point.

HI Jingwen
I think your article is pretty good.
You described the limitations of social media in three aspects, such as time, quality and excessive commercialization.
Not only that, but also a video is used to show specific examples.
