With the invention of smartphones, social media is more involved in our lives than ever before.
While we might say that we love Facebook, or that we can't go ten minutes without using Snapchat, there's no doubt that the way these sites and apps work can be really, really annoying. YouTube comedian Emma Blackery has created a hilarious video on what would happen if all our favorite social media platforms were human…and we had to go on a first date with them. The result has given me a whole new perspective on all the time I spend using these apps!
Social media isn't completely terrible. After all, this family managed to use it to help them conceive two wonderful children! But there's no doubt that many people find themselves using it too often, and many others even get addicted to all the "likes" and attention they get from it. We've shown you before what can happen when someone gets way too hooked on the sites, but when you watch this funny video, it makes you wonder why. Sure, Emma's characters might be a little exaggerated, but when you think about it, they really show what happens when you use these apps!
I get annoyed when I go out with someone and they use their phone the entire time, so I don't think I could handle a single second of going on a date with any of Emma's funny (but annoying) characters. This video was completely hilarious, but it also shows us the frustrating truth of social media.
If you love Emma's video as much as I do, SHARE it on Facebook with all your friends!
