Nosedive- Black Mirror

This episode of Black Mirror was freaky because it could potentially happen. In today's society everyone is fighting to "out do" everyone when it comes to social media. In this episode people's social "status" was all about points, and the people got points by posting cool places they've been, or what they had for breakfast. The main woman started to obsess over the amount of "points" she had, and she ended up losing them all and going to jail. The ironic thing was, when she went to jail her and another man ended up just speaking their minds back and fourth and they felt more free than they did in society. This is true in real life today! People can come off as being fake on social media just to get the popular "likes." Being on social media you really just post for others not yourself. Of course, social media is not all negative. It is such a positive and great thing how it can connect people from all over the world and bring people together. This episode just really showed the extreme of what social media can do.
