Three researchers at Blanquerna University, Spain, examined how adolescents interact with social media and specifically Facebook. They suggest that interactions on the website encourage representing oneself in the traditional gender constructs, which helps maintain gender stereotypes.[159] The authors noted that girls generally show more emotion in their posts and more frequently change their profile pictures, which according to some psychologists can lead to self-objectification.[160] On the other hand, the researchers found that boys prefer to portray themselves as strong, independent, and powerful.[161] For example, men often post pictures of objects and not themselves, and rarely change their profile pictures; using the pages more for entertainment and pragmatic reasons. In contrast girls generally post more images that include themselves, friends and things they have emotional ties to, which the researchers attributed that to the higher emotional intelligence of girls at a younger age. The authors sampled over 632 girls and boys from the ages of 12-16 from Spain in an effort to confirm their beliefs. The researchers concluded that masculinity is more commonly associated with a positive psychological well-being, while femininity displays less psychological well-being.[162] Furthermore, the researchers discovered that people tend not to completely conform to either stereotype, and encompass desirable parts of both. Users of Facebook generally use their profile to reflect that they are a "normal" person. Social media was found to uphold gender stereotypes both feminine and masculine. The researchers also noted that the traditional stereotypes are often upheld by boys more so than girls. The authors described how neither stereotype was entirely positive, but most people viewed masculine values as more positive.
Personally, I find grocery shopping to be incredibly cathartic, but if crowded stores and too many options leaves you overwhelmed, Instacart will go to your store (whatever that may be), pick up your items, and deliver them to your place. Instacart uses "trained shoppers" who can spot the best produce, too, so a bag of deep green bananas should never be a problem.

Social media as an open forum gives a voice to those who have previously not had the ability to be heard. In 2015, some countries were still becoming equipped with Internet accessibility and other technologies. Social media is giving everyone a voice to speak out against government regimes. In 2014, the rural areas in Paraguay were only just receiving access to social media, such as Facebook. In congruence with the users worldwide, teens and young adults in Paraguay are drawn to Facebook and others types of social media as a means to self-express. Social media is becoming a main conduit for social mobilization and government critiques because, "the government can't control what we say on the Internet."[206]
Evgeny Morozov, 2009-2010 Yahoo fellow at Georgetown University, contends that the information uploaded to Twitter may have little relevance to the rest of the people who do not use Twitter. In the article "Iran: Downside to the "Twitter Revolution"" in the magazine Dissent ,[114] he says:

Es ist ärgerlich und bisweilen aufdringlich, wenn mir in Arztpraxen Zusatzleistungen angeboten werden, die ich extra bezahlen soll. Vermutlich bin ich nicht der Einzige, der das bestätigen kann? Da fehlt dem Laien schlichtweg das Urteilsvermögen, ob diese Zusatzleistungen sinnvoll sind oder gar medizinisch notwendig. Zuweilen bekommt man sogar den Eindruck, dass manche Zusatzangebote allein dazu dienen, das Arzthonorar aufzubessern.
Bereits in den 1980er Jahren wurde der Grundstein für soziale Netzwerke mit den Bulletin-Board-Systemen (BBS) gelegt. Diese Systeme erlaubten den Austausch von Daten und Nachrichten zwischen mehreren Benutzern auf einer Plattform. Ebenfalls in dieser Zeit entstand das Usenet, eine Plattform für Diskussionen und Nachrichtenaustausch über das Internet.

Medium is perhaps the best social network for readers and writers. It's sort of like a blogging platform similar to Tumblr, but features a very minimal look to keep the emphasis on content that's shared there. Users can publish their own stories and format them just the way they want with photos, videos and GIFs to support their storytelling. All content is driven by the community of users who recommend stories they like, which show up in the feeds of users who follow them. Users can also follow individual tags as a way to subscribe to content focused on topics of interest. More "
