Life is full with unexpected events.

Life is full with unexpected events.  

Have we ever thought that our life can change in a split of second. If beforehand we are a person who can be claimed as unknown to the world but with the power of technology and social media our title can change. How so?

As what have been discussed before, Foucault believed that individual is shaped through the communication that occur between oneself to others. He said that, our identity is not something that fixed and stay the same through out our life, it change and still in ongoing process. Where this identity that he said can change due to new technologies such as blogs, internet explorer, social networking sites and smartphone.

So based on Foucault theory, we can relate it with our life now where people use social media as a place to make something unknown to be known. That is where social media celebrity are born. Where we can say that they are not a person who contribute a lot to the world but they still can be famous. This is by the video they post or information that they shared that makes them known. Some of the information are true and some of them are not. But basically, the information that they shared are attracting many people to view and read it. Thus makes it become viral and trending.

For example if in the Twitter, the more information that you post have more retweet and like the chances of you become known are higher. The more people view your video the same things happen where the chance of become a famous is higher. In recent cases where a video posted in Instagram have been viewed by thousand of people where a girl known as Coco talks with Malay-English slang become viral and now she became one of the online celebrities.

The power of social media where it attract people with viral and trending is still can’t be explained. People are likely to share the information that they think it is interesting. So, does new technology is good or a bad thing?
